President-elect Donald Trump has requested the Supreme Court to delay the implementation of a potential TikTok ban, aiming to allow his administration to explore a 'political resolution' to the matter. This request comes amidst conflicting legal arguments presented by TikTok and the Biden administration to the court.

Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning i
