President-elect Donald Trump is expected to try to halt the potential U.S. ban on TikTok, according to reports from The Washington Post and statements from his allies. Trump had promised during his campaign to save the popular social media app if he won the election. TikTok faces a deadline on January 19, 2025, to secure a non-China-based owner to continue operating in the United States. This move would mark a significant policy shift for the incoming president, who has previously taken a hard stance against China.
