U.



S. President-elect Donald Trump has called on the Supreme Court to temporarily halt a law that could either ban TikTok or force its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app to an American company.

This move marks a dramatic shift in Trump’s stance from 2020 when he actively pushed for TikTok’s ban over national security concerns tied to its Chinese ownership.

Key Dates and Developments

  • January 10: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on the case.
  • January 19: A critical deadline looms as the U.S. Congress has mandated ByteDance to divest TikTok by this date or face a nationwide ban.
  • January 20: Trump officially assumes office, providing an opportunity for political negotiations on the issue.

TikTok, with over 170 million users in the U.S., has been fighting back, urging the Supreme Court to strike down the law. Failure to secure a favorable ruling could lead to the app being banned just a day before Trump takes office.

TikTok’s Strategic Outreach

The reversal highlights TikTok's efforts to foster connections with Trump and his team during the presidential campaign. This approach appears to have influenced the President-elect, who now advocates for a pause on the app's forced sale or ban to explore alternative resolutions.

What’s at Stake?

A ban on TikTok could have significant implications for millions of American users, businesses, and content creators who rely on the platform. Meanwhile, ByteDance faces immense pressure to comply with U.S. regulations or risk losing its foothold in a major market.

Stay tuned as this high-stakes battle unfolds in the Supreme Court, with far-reaching consequences for social media, geopolitics, and the tech industry.
