The popular social media app TikTok is facing a potential nationwide ban on Sunday unless its China-based parent company agrees to sell the app. This development comes as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to be sworn into office.
Sources have indicated that TikTok’s CEO is expected to have an up-close view of the inauguration, sitting among other prominent guests on the platform.
President-elect Trump has previously expressed concerns about TikTok, initially wanting the app banned due to national security issues. However, during the 2024 election, he shifted his stance, stating that he believes TikTok helped him campaign with younger voters.
In an effort to protect the platform, President Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to postpone the potential ban. The decision on TikTok’s future remains uncertain as the situation unfolds.
