The Commerce Department in a statement on Saturday confirmed that the ban would delay by one week.

US security officials suspected the data that TikTok’s owner collected may be handed to the Chinese government.

However, TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, denied the allegation saying that it is controlled by or shares data with China’s ruling Communist Party.

Trump on Saturday said the agreement would ensure the data and told reporters: “The security will be 100%.”

“I approve the deal in concept,” he said.

Around 100 million Americans use the Chinese video sharing app.
