Following the recent U.S. presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to 'save' TikTok, despite previously signing an order to ban the app during his first term. With Trump's return to power, perceptions of TikTok as a national-security threat have shifted, raising hopes for the app's future in the U.S. TikTok faces a potential ban that could disrupt its operations and impact over 150 million American users unless Trump intervenes to reverse the policy. Analysts suggest that the outcome of the election may have provided TikTok with an unexpected ally in Trump, who has garnered significant support from the platform's user base.
