Trump: "Likely" to give TikTok a 90-day grace period on the day of taking office

ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Xinhua News Agency cited by Jinshi, U.S. President-elect Trump stated in an interview with NBC on the 18th that he is "very likely" to grant a 90-day grace period to the short video social media platform TikTok on the day of his inauguration on the 20th, temporarily avoiding its ban in the United States.

Trump indicated that, although a final decision has not yet been made, he is considering asking TikTok's parent company ByteDance to extend the deadline for selling TikTok to a non-Chinese company by 90 days. He mentioned that this is one of the options being considered, and "a 90-day extension is the most likely, as it is appropriate." If he decides to proceed with this, he will announce it on the day of his inauguration on the 20th.
