US President-elect suggests delaying TikTok ban

On December 27, US President-elect Donald Trump filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking for a temporary stay on the TikTok ban until his administration can pursue a "political solution" to the issue.

The request comes as TikTok and the administration of incumbent US President Joe Biden file opposing reports in court.

In particular, TikTok argued that the court should reject the law that could ban the platform on January 19, 2025, while the US government emphasized the view that this law is necessary to eliminate national security risks.

Mr. Trump's report, prepared by Mr. D. John Sauer, Mr. Trump's nominee for Attorney General.

The document makes it clear that President-elect Trump took no position on the merits of the dispute.

Instead, he asked the court to consider postponing the January 19, 2025, divestment deadline under the act, pending consideration of the merits of the case.

During his first term, Donald Trump tried to ban TikTok due to national security concerns.

However, during the 2024 presidential campaign, he joined TikTok and his team used the platform to connect with young voters, especially men.
