President Donald Trump is poised to extend Congress’ deadline for ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban on the app for a third time. Some Republican lawmakers are starting to lose their patience with the administration.

“Since it’s been extended two or three times already without any repercussions, I just want finality,” Sen. Chuck Grassley told reporters Monday about TikTok. “I want some certainty, and just know that the Congress isn’t being played, when we’ve made a decision.”

An additional 90-day extension wasn’t particularly welcome news to many Republican senators.
