Saving TikTok While Protecting National Security

·Donald Trump·90 FR 47219

Determines that a proposed divestiture of TikTok's United States operations, under a Framework Agreement creating a new US-based joint venture majority-owned by American investors, qualifies as a 'qualified divestiture' under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, resolving national security concerns about the app's foreign ownership. Directs the Attorney General not to enforce the Act against any entity for 120 days, to issue guidance and letters confirming no violations or liability occurred, including for past conduct since January 2025, and to act as the government's representative under the Framework Agreement while defending exclusive federal enforcement authority against state or private action. Revokes a 2024 memorandum delegating enforcement authority, and amends a 2020 order on ByteDance's acquisition of Musical.ly so its restrictions lift once the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States reaches an agreement with the new investors.

Strengthening Efforts To Protect U.S. Nationals From Wrongful Detention Abroad

·Donald Trump·90 FR 43895

Authorizes the Secretary of State to designate a foreign country as a 'State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention' if its government engages in, supports, or fails to remedy the wrongful detention of a U.S. national, or shows a pattern of unjust detention of foreign nationals in cases of U.S. interest.

Directs federal law enforcement agencies participating in the D.C.
