China-based ByteDance Technology Co.—which owns video-sharing app TikTok—has been granted a new seven-day extension to sell its popular app, according to a court filing.

The extension, granted by the Trump administration on Nov. 25, comes after President Donald Trump first ordered Bytedance to divest the app in August within a 90-day timeframe. According to the filing, the new deadline will now be Dec. 4.
