President-elect Donald Trump is expected to attempt to halt the potential U.S. ban on TikTok, aiming to 'save' the popular social media app as he promised during his campaign, according to allies cited by the Washington Post. This move would represent a significant policy shift for an incoming president who has frequently criticized China. TikTok faces a deadline on January 19, 2025, to find a non-China-based owner in order to continue operating in the United States.
