Despite President Trump's executive order to delay the TikTok ban, it hasn't reappeared on app stores. Here's why companies are hesitating.

The latest turn in the ongoing saga over TikTok in the United States has brought the balance of power among the three branches of government into the spotlight.

Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 20 to extend the ban on TikTok, implemented by former President Joe Biden last year. The order granted a 75-day extension, which Trump said will allow him to consult with his advisors and heads of "relevant" departments and agencies to address national security concerns posed by TikTok.

During his first term as president, Donald Trump led the effort to ban TikTok, the hugely popular video-sharing site he said posed threats to U.S. national security.
