Trump postponed the ban on TikTok
Video sharing platform TikTok was scheduled to be banned in the US from Sunday (January 19) this week, but President Donald Trump has asked his new administration to assess the national security risks of the platform and find a potential US buyer for the TikTok app. The ban was postponed for 75 days.
TikTok’s Chinese parent company now has more than two months to find a buyer for its US operations after President Donald Trump extended the deadline or face a national ban in the US. However, competition for its ownership has started.
