This, however, does not mean that TikTok which has over 100 million users in the US will stop functioning in the county as the Trump administration is not enforcing the executive order requiring the sale, said the report citing unnamed source familiar with the matter.

 

The talks between TikTok and US officials on reaching a deal will continue.
