Dec 22, 2024, 06:20 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed support for allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States for a little while longer. Speaking at an event in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump cited the platform's role in his presidential campaign, mentioning that he received billions of views on TikTok. This statement comes amidst ongoing discussions about national security concerns related to TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. The U.S. Senate passed a law in April requiring ByteDance to divest the app by January 19, or face a ban in the U.S. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear ByteDance's challenge to this law, with a decision expected to impact the app's future in the country.
