Turkish President departs
President Donald Trump met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. While the meeting was ultimately about lifting the U.S. hold on the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey and other things, it’s also the reason the deal hasn’t been signed yet, as Trump has been busy with that.
Now that Erdoğan has left, Trump is free to move on to other parts of his day, which will likely include signing the TikTok deal, if the reports from White House Officials are correct.
Deadline extending might finally be over
President Trump has extended the TikTok ban deadline several times in an attempt to allow ByteDance and U.S. investors to make a deal. While it took longer than expected, White House officials have told NBC News that the deal should be signed by the President on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
However, there might be one more extension coming, as Trump is expected to put a 120-day pause on the ban to allow this new deal to officially go through. Selling multi-billion-dollar companies doesn’t happen overnight, after all.
