  • In the latest tussle between Trump and Biden over future US policy, the president-elect is seeking to pause a law banning Chinese-owned social video app TikTok. Donald Trump says he wants to solve the case politically.

The article discusses the potential fate of TikTok in the United States, focusing on former President Donald Trump's involvement. Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok citing national security concerns over its Chinese ownership by ByteDance, has now expressed a willingness to help the app. This shift comes as TikTok faces a possible ban unless its Chinese owners divest their stakes, a situation complicated by recent legislation signed by President Joe Biden. Trump's change in stance is influenced by his ongoing feud with Meta (formerly known as Facebook), accusing them of election interference, and his recognition of TikTok's popularity among young voters, which could impact political landscapes. Despite his earlier aggressive actions against TikTok, Trump now sees an opportunity to leverage the situation for political gain, potentially aligning with TikTok to counterbalance Meta's influence. However, the article notes that Trump's ability to "save" TikTok remains uncertain due to the complex interplay of national security, political motivations, and the app's significant user base in the U.S.
