Plain-language summary
Extends until September 17, 2025, the delay in enforcing the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act against TikTok, building on earlier delays set by Executive Order 14166 and Executive Order 14258. Directs the Department of Justice not to enforce the Act or penalize any entity for distributing, maintaining, or updating TikTok or similar foreign adversary controlled applications during this period, and bars enforcement afterward for conduct occurring during this or any prior delay period since January 19, 2025. Instructs the Attorney General to issue written guidance implementing the extension and to send letters to affected providers confirming no violation or liability occurred. Also directs the Attorney General to use all available authority to preserve the Executive Branch's exclusive power to enforce the Act, characterizing enforcement attempts by states or private parties as encroachments on that authority. States the order does not create enforceable rights and that publication costs fall on the Department of Justice.

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
See: EO 14166, January 20, 2025; EO 14258, April 4, 2025; EO 14350, September 16, 2025; EO 14352, September 25, 2025
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.

Executive Order 14310 of June 19, 2025
Further Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Extension. (a) The enforcement delay
specified in section 2(a) of Executive Order 14166 of
January 20, 2025 (Application of Protecting Americans
from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to
TikTok), as extended by Executive Order 14258 of April
4, 2025 (Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay), is
further extended until September 17, 2025. During this
period, the Department of Justice shall take no action
to enforce the Protecting Americans from Foreign
Adversary Controlled Applications Act (the “Act”)
(Public Law 118-50, Div. H) or impose any penalties
against any entity for any noncompliance with the Act,
including for distributing, maintaining, or updating
(or enabling the distribution, maintenance, or
updating) of any foreign adversary controlled
application as defined in the Act. In light of this
direction, even after the expiration of the above-
specified period, the Department of Justice shall not
take any action to enforce the Act or impose any
penalties against any entity for any conduct that
occurred during the above-specified period or any
period prior to the issuance of this order, including
the period of time from January 19, 2025, until the
date of this order.
(b) The Attorney General shall take all appropriate
action to issue written guidance to implement the
provisions of subsection (a) of this section.
(c) The Attorney General shall further issue a
letter to each provider stating that there has been no
violation of the statute and that there is no liability
for any conduct that occurred during the above-
specified period, as well as for any conduct from the
effective date of the Act until the date of this order.
(d) Because of the national security interests at
stake and because section 2(d) of the Act vests
authority for investigations and enforcement of the Act
only in the Attorney General, attempted enforcement by
the States or private parties represents an
encroachment on the powers of the Executive. The
Attorney General shall exercise all available authority
to preserve and defend the Executive's exclusive
authority to enforce the Act.
Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(d) The costs for publication of this order shall
be borne by the Department of Justice.
(Presidential Sig.)
