US President-elect Donald Trump is expected to take action to delay TikTok's ban ahead of the January 19 deadline. The Supreme Court is set to rule on a law requiring ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese owner, to sell the platform or face restrictions. ByteDance has refused to sell and may shut down the app for its 170 million US users.
Trump’s team and the Biden administration are exploring ways to keep TikTok operational, with Trump reportedly considering an executive order or a 90-day extension. A Supreme Court decision on the ban is expected soon.
