Executive Order 14310: Further Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay
President: Donald J. Trump
Extended by 90 days the period of non-enforcement under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 14310 still in effect? No. Executive Order 14310 was superseded. See Federal Register record.
What does Executive Order 14310 do?
The text directs Attorney General to take no enforcement action during the stated period, and Justice to issue guidance to covered providers.
Later primary evidence reviewed September 24, 2026: A later presidential order extended the TikTok enforcement delay that this order had extended. Official source. The cited steps do not establish every downstream effect.
Reading the operative provisions of Executive Order 14310
EO 14310 added another 90-day period in which the Attorney General was directed not to enforce the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. The Act concerns covered applications controlled by foreign adversaries, including TikTok, and sets conditions involving divestiture or distribution restrictions. The order’s Federal Register text directed federal enforcement posture for a limited period; it did not repeal or amend the statute.
A non-enforcement direction can give the executive branch time to assess a sale or other resolution, but the statutory text remains law unless Congress changes it or a court invalidates it. App stores, hosting providers and the company may still face legal and commercial uncertainty because an enforcement pause is not the same as a permanent exemption. The Attorney General’s instruction governs federal prosecution within its terms, while other legal obligations may continue.
Later presidential orders superseded EO 14310, so its 90-day period is no longer the current rule. The order is best understood as one stage in a sequence of temporary extensions. To assess the present framework, follow the later executive actions and court decisions, and distinguish the statute from the President’s time-limited enforcement instructions. A historical extension should not be used to infer that enforcement remains paused today.
Before and after
Before the order
The statute’s divest-or-distribution prohibition had taken effect, subject to the President’s statutory determination and prior enforcement delays.
After the order
The June extension temporarily preserved non-enforcement and was later superseded by additional presidential action; the statute itself remained in force.
A later presidential order extended the TikTok enforcement delay that this order had extended.

Legal and source detail
How it works legally
The President cannot repeal the Act by executive order. The statutory text, the Supreme Court’s January 2025 decision upholding it and later presidential actions determine current obligations.
