President Trump is once again putting America First—protecting our economy, national security, and online freedom.
🇺🇸 America vs. China: The TikTok Showdown
A high-stakes deal to transfer TikTok’s U.S. operations to American investors is hanging in the balance, after the Chinese Communist Party refused to approve the agreement.
The proposed deal, backed by U.S. regulators, private investors, and even ByteDance—the Beijing-based parent company of TikTok—would have shifted control of the popular app away from China and into American hands, with ByteDance retaining only a minor, non-controlling stake.
But according to sources cited by Reuters, Beijing slammed the brakes, blaming the Trump administration’s latest round of tough economic action.
💼 Trump Hits Back With Powerful 34% Tariffs on Chinese Imports
In a bold move that reinforces his long-standing commitment to fair trade, President Trump announced a 34% tariff on Chinese goods entering the U.S.—on top of an earlier 20% tariff.
The tariffs are part of a broader strategy to end China’s decades-long trade manipulation and protect American manufacturing jobs. The Chinese regime responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own, proving this is more than just a tech deal—it’s an economic battle for control.
🕰️ TikTok Ban Delayed – Trump Signs Executive Order to Protect American Users
TikTok was originally facing a total U.S. ban if it failed to divest from Chinese ownership. But President Trump, acting with strength and patience, extended the deadline twice to give the deal a chance.
“My team has been putting in tremendous effort to secure a deal that preserves TikTok for American users,” President Trump shared on Truth Social. “While progress has been strong, there are still a few key approvals needed. That’s why I’m issuing an Executive Order to keep TikTok operational for another 75 days as we finalize the agreement.”
🔒 National Security Comes First
Trump stressed that tariffs are not just about dollars—they’re about defending American sovereignty.
“We’re willing to keep engaging with China in good faith, even though they’re clearly not pleased with our reciprocal tariffs,” President Trump stated. “This only confirms that tariffs are one of the strongest economic tools we have—and they play a vital role in protecting our national security.”
🇺🇸 Strong Leadership in a Dangerous World
President Trump made it clear: if China wants relief on tariffs, they must agree to the TikTok deal. It’s a firm but fair approach that puts American interests first, sends a clear message to adversaries, and reminds voters what strong leadership looks like.
