During a recent conference in Phoenix, Arizona, President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of temporarily allowing TikTok to remain operational in the United States.

Trump emphasized his success with young voters, stating, "We won by 36 points with young people," and noted that his campaign achieved the highest share of youth votes for a Republican in history.
