Trump Aims to 'Save TikTok' with Executive Order Delaying Ban: Washington Post
Jan 15, 2025, 10:36 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is considering issuing an executive order once in office to suspend enforcement of the TikTok sale-or-ban law for 60 to 90 days, aiming to 'save TikTok' from the impending ban, according to the Washington Post. The law, set to take effect on January 19, requires TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. operations or cease operations in the country. Trump's proposed executive order would allow the Chinese-owned app to continue operating while a resolution is sought. Mike Waltz, Trump's pick for national security adviser, stated that the president-elect is exploring options to 'preserve' TikTok. The delay would provide additional time to negotiate a sale or alternative solution, though such an executive order may be legally questionable. Trump's videos on TikTok have amassed nearly 4 billion views.
