Saving TikTok While Protecting National Security
This executive order determines that a proposed divestiture of TikTok's U.S. operations qualifies under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, creating a new U.S.-based joint venture with less than 20% foreign ownership. The order delays enforcement of the Act for 120 days to allow completion of the transaction, directs the Attorney General to issue protective guidance to providers, amends a 2020 divestment order related to ByteDance's acquisition of Musical.ly, and designates the Attorney General as the government's representative under the Framework Agreement.
Revoking PPD-6 on U.S. Global Development Policy
This memorandum revokes Presidential Policy Directive-6 (PPD-6), the 2010 Obama-era policy on U.S. Global Development Policy, on grounds that it conflicts with the current administration's executive orders on America First foreign policy, WHO withdrawal, international environmental agreements, and foreign aid realignment. The revocation directs a broad set of cabinet officials and agency heads but imposes no new affirmative mandates or deadlines.

Twelve countries face full suspension of both immigrant and nonimmigrant entry (Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen), while seven countries face partial suspension targeting immigrants and specific nonimmigrant visa categories (Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela). The restrictions are based on asserted deficiencies in screening, vetting, information-sharing, identity-management, and high visa overstay rates.
