As Ukrinform reports, this was reported by AP, citing its own sources.
According to a US official, the Biden administration is leaving the implementation of the law — and the potential application of the ban — to Trump’s discretion.
The publication recalls that Trump, while serving as US President during his first term, wanted to ban the app in the US due to "national security concerns."
However, Trump joined TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign, and his team used the app to reach younger voters. He also promised to “save TikTok” during the presidential campaign, noting that the platform helped him win more young voters.
It is noted that last year, the US Congress, in an approved law signed by Biden, required the Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok by January 19, the day before the inauguration of the next president.
TikTok CEO Shawn Ji Chu is expected to attend Trump's inauguration and get one of the best seats there.
