Trump reacted to the court's verdict on TikTok
Trump said the Supreme Court's decision was expected. Asked if he would take steps to try to lift the lockdown, Trump said he would make a decision soon.
US President-elect Donald Trump said he will soon make a decision on the operation of the media platform TikTok. He announced this on the social network Truth Social and in comments to CNN.
As reported, today the Supreme Court upheld a law requiring TikTok to be blocked unless China's ByteDance sells it to an American company.
Trump said the Supreme Court's decision was expected and everyone should respect it.
"My decision on TikTok will be made in the not-so-distant future, but I need time to assess the situation. Stay tuned," he wrote.
As Trump said in a CNN comment, "Ultimately, it's all up to me."
When asked if he would take steps to try to lift the lockdown, he said he would decide on that soon.
"Congress has given me the decision, so I will make the decision," Trump added.
