How Trump could save Tiktok
The law says ByteDance must sell the app or it will be banned in the U.S. by Sunday, January 19. But can Donald Trump step in to save it?
The Supreme Court just upheld the law, and President Joe Biden has only days left in office. So, what’s next? Trump, now president-elect, has a powerful option: issuing an executive order.
Trump could invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law that gives the president broad powers during emergencies. He could argue that keeping TikTok running is crucial for national security — to prevent Chinese apps like RedNote from gaining ground in the U.S.
