TikTok is facing a ban in the US if its Chinese parent firm does not agree to a deal by April 5.

In January, the app went offline for a day before US President Donald Trump signed an executive order delaying the implementation of a law which requires ByteDance to sell TikTok’s US business or be banned, because of national security concerns over the platform’s links to China.
