 President Donald Trump said he will not extend his Sept. 15 deadline for Bytedance Ltd. to sell the U.S. operations of its popular TikTok video-sharing app.

“We’ll either close up TikTok in this country for security reasons, or it will be sold,” Trump told reporters Thursday before boarding the presidential aircraft for a campaign trip to Michigan. “There will be no extension of the TikTok deadline.”
