Trump says he will "most likely" give TikTok 90-day reprieve from ban

Several sources suggest that Donald Trump will grant TikTok a 90-day extension to negotiate a deal, allowing the app to remain available in the US. Trump stated that he had not made a final decision but was considering granting a reprieve, and indicated that he would likely announce the extension on Monday. The US Supreme Court had upheld a law banning TikTok in the US unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform by January 19. The law prohibits mobile app stores and internet hosting services from distributing TikTok to US users. TikTok has a large user base in the US, with nearly half of all Americans using the app, and has had a significant impact on online culture.
