Trump wants to delay TikTok ban, seeks 'political resolution' | Decoding shift in position
India TV NewsUS President-elect Donald Trump on Friday filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to delay the potential TikTok ban. Trump's request comes after the Biden administration filed a brief urging the Court that the statute, which will potentially ban TikTok, is needed to eliminate a national security risk. Decoding the change in stance During his first term, Trump sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, and the latest development marks a change in stance. In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged risks' that China could exercise control” over TikTok's US platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates.
