2025-01-17 103

TikTok's survival in the U.S. hinges on incoming President Donald Trump's administration as his advisers explore delaying a legal ban set for Sunday. TikTok CEO Shou Chew will attend Trump’s Monday inauguration alongside U.S. tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. The app faces a U.S. ban under a bipartisan law unless its parent company, ByteDance, divests U.S. operations. Trump advisers are reviewing options for an extension. Trump’s support for TikTok has grown, citing its role in reaching young voters. A Supreme Court decision on the ban's constitutionality is expected imminently.
