Trump wants to pause TikTok ban
President-elect Trump is requesting a delay in the implementation of a law mandating the sale of TikTok or facing a ban in the US. This contrasts with his previous attempts to ban the app outright. The law, signed by President Biden, addresses national security concerns regarding ByteDance's ownership. TikTok argues the ban infringes on free speech, while Trump's team suggests the timing interferes with the new administration's ability to negotiate a resolution. The Supreme Court will hear TikTok's appeal in January. Trump's recent actions, including a meeting with TikTok's CEO, suggest a shift in his stance.
