VisitTrump Supports Keeping TikTok Operational in U.S. After Billions of Views During Campaign, Ahead of January 19 Deadline
Dec 22, 2024, 11:00 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has indicated a preference for allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States, citing the platform's substantial role in his recent election campaign. Speaking at a Turning Point conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump mentioned, "I’m going to have to start thinking about TikTok... maybe we got to keep this sucker around for a little while." He highlighted the app's effectiveness in reaching young voters, claiming his campaign garnered billions of views on TikTok. Trump's remarks come amid ongoing discussions regarding national security concerns related to the Chinese-owned platform. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on January 10 regarding a potential ban on TikTok, which could take effect on January 19, one day before Trump takes office. Trump's comments reflect a notable shift from previous calls for a ban on the app due to its ties to China.
