It looks like TikTok isn't selling off its US operations after all. Now, the app's US future hangs on whether Trump walks back an executive order.

Not clear how Trump will reactPresident Trump last month signed two executive orders targeting ByteDance. The first ordered all US citizens and companies to cease any "transactions" with the firm by September 20. The second ordered ByteDance to sell TikTok's US operations by November 12. If TikTok is going to propose a new structure, whereby it partners with Oracle instead of selling, Trump will have to walk back the second executive order.
