Trump Expected to Intervene in TikTok Ban
News summary

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to intervene to prevent a U.S. ban on TikTok, fulfilling a campaign promise to protect the app, despite having supported a ban during his first term. The bipartisan legislation signed by President Biden mandates ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to divest its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025, or face a ban, although Trump may seek to delay or stop the ban. Kellyanne Conway, a former Trump adviser, emphasized Trump's appreciation for TikTok's reach and suggested alternative measures to hold China accountable without banning the app. Despite appointing Rep. Mike Waltz, a known critic of TikTok, as National Security Advisor, Trump used TikTok strategically during his campaign to appeal to younger voters. Legal challenges are ongoing, with TikTok arguing the law is unconstitutional and impractical, adding uncertainty to its future in the U.S.
