AG Bondi wrote in a letter to Apple that the company should act in accordance with Trump's deadline extension and that it would not be penalized for hosting the platform, according to unnamed sources cited in the report.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
After TikTok went briefly offline for U.S. users in January following the initial ban deadline, it remained unavailable for download in the App Store until Feb. 13. Apple had reinstated TikTok to its app store after receiving a similar letter of assurance from Bondi.
The extension comes days after Trump announced cumulative tariffs of 54% on China. Prior to the additional tariff rollout on April 2, the president said he could reduce duties on the country to help facilitate a deal for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of TikTok.
