As President-elect, Donald Trump is preparing to oppose a looming U.S. ban on TikTok, which faces a January 19 deadline to divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. His transition team hints at plans to protect the platform, a significant shift from his previous efforts to block it due to security concerns. Despite ongoing legal battles and a bipartisan push for the ban, public support for TikTok has shifted. Trump’s strong social media presence—over 14 million followers—adds political weight to his commitment to "save" the app.
