President-elect Trump asked companies 'not to let TikTok stay dark' and vowed an executive order to extend usage while a national security deal was sorted.
TikTok said it was in the process of restoring operations in the U.S. Sunday, after President-elect Trump promised to issue an executive order to extend TikTok operations on Inauguration Day. Some U.S. users reported being able to regain access to the app following Saturday's blackout.
Trump is expected to be sworn in around noon ET Monday at the U.S. Capitol, officially taking office as the 47th president. His Sunday post did not clarify how soon the extension would take effect or specify how long it would last. As for the proposed national security deal, Trump said he would like "the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture." "By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to up. Without U.S.
The following pop-up message appeared for users who tried to access the TikTok app earlier Sunday: "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now." "We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" the message added.
