Former President Donald Trump has requested a delay on the US Supreme Court's legislative deadline for TikTok's sale or ban, aiming for a 'political resolution' upon his return to office. The legislation, passed by Congress in April, mandates ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to divest from the app by January 19, 2025, or face a nationwide ban. Trump asserts his administration possesses the necessary expertise and political will to negotiate a resolution that addresses national security concerns while preserving the platform.
Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to delay a legislative deadline that would force a sale or ban of TikTok to allow for a “political resolution” once he is sworn in as president next month. Under a bill Congress approved in April, Chinese parent ByteDance must divest TikTok by January 19 2025 — the day before Trump is inaugurated as president — or face a countrywide ban.
That order was blocked by the courts and ultimately revoked by US President Joe Biden, who later signed the law at the heart of the case. The briefing said: “President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the government — concerns which president Trump himself has acknowledged.
