What's Trump's stance on a TikTok ban? Here's his history with the app

^{Published on 2025-01-16 06:41:09 - MSN}

As a potential TikTok ban looms, here's how President-elect Donald Trump views banning the app, and how his stance, has changed.

Donald Trump's stance on TikTok has been notably inconsistent. Initially, in 2020, Trump attempted to ban TikTok through executive orders, citing national security concerns due to its Chinese ownership by ByteDance. He pushed for its sale to an American company, but these efforts were blocked by courts. However, by 2024, Trump's position shifted; he opposed a bill that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a ban, arguing that such a move would benefit competitors like Meta, which he considers an "enemy of the people." This change in stance might be influenced by his recent interactions with Jeff Yass, a significant investor in ByteDance, and Trump's own use of TikTok to reach younger voters, as he joined the platform in June 2024. His evolving relationship with TikTok reflects both political strategy and personal business interests.
