President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to intervene to prevent a potential U.S. ban on TikTok, according to the Washington Post. Trump, who promised during his campaign to 'save' the social media app, aims to halt the ban that is set to take effect on January 19th, 2025. TikTok faces a January deadline to secure a non-China-based owner to continue its operations in the United States. The move, which allies say is an effort to preserve the app's presence, comes amidst its rising popularity.
