A law prohibiting TikTok distribution in the US starts on Sunday. While the law requires TikTok's parent company to sell its US operations by the end of this month, President-elect Donald Trump suggests a 90-day reprieve to allow negotiations for a deal that would avert a ban.

A law that prohibits mobile app store s and internet hosting services from distributing TikTok to US users takes effect on Sunday.

Mr Trump said in an NBC News interview that he had not decided what to do but was considering granting TikTok a reprieve after he is sworn into office on Monday. Under the law passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden last year, TikTok’s China-based parent company had nine months to sell the platform’s US operation to an approved buyer.“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at,” Mr Trump told Meet The Press moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview.
