President-elect Donald Trump said he had a "very good" call with China's President Xi Jinping on Friday about TikTok
Trump has said he has a "warm spot" for the app, a distinct change of heart after his first administration first called for a ban on TikTok.
Users have flooded the app with satirical videos poking fun at the U.S. government's claims about data security.
The fate of Tiktok is in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump after the Supreme Court upheld the ban Friday..
Incoming President Donald Trump said Friday that he has discussed solving the problem of TikTok with China’s president Xi Jinping. The social media platform owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance is set to face a nationwide ban starting Jan.
The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld a law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese owner ByteDance or face a U.S. ban. Now the question is whether Donald Trump will enforce this law.
The President’s duty is to enforce the law, not cut a deal with China.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping may not have personally accepted US President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to his inauguration, but Beijing has taken the rare step of dispatching a top official to join the swearing-in ceremony in Washington.
TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, went offline in the United States just before a ban took effect only to return the next day. What happens next could set the tone for incoming U.S. President Donald Trump's relationship with Beijing.
President-elect Donald Trump vowed to issue an executive order on Monday to postpone the ban on TikTok from going into effect.
As Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president, he's not expected to impose China-specific tariffs on his first day in office, signaling a strategic shift toward engagement with Beijing rather than reigniting a trade war.
