Trump's Presidency Could Halt TikTok Ban

President-elect Donald Trump may seek to reverse the impending U.S. ban on TikTok through various political and legal maneuvers.

  • Trump, who has expressed opposition to the TikTok ban, could use his presidency to repeal or modify the law requiring TikTok's sale by January 19.
  • Experts suggest Trump might encourage Congress to repeal the ban, though this could face significant political challenges given bipartisan support for the original legislation.
  • Legal avenues, such as a potential Supreme Court intervention, could delay the ban, allowing the Trump administration more time to address the issue.
  • Trump could choose not to enforce the ban, but this may leave tech companies like Apple and Google in legal uncertainty.
  • Finding a U.S. buyer for TikTok remains an option, but time constraints and China's opposition to the sale complicate this approach.
