                Executive Order 14350 of September 16, 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), and 
                Executive Order 14310 of June 19, 2025 (Further 
                Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay), is further 
                extended until December 16, 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.

                    September 16, 2025.
