Trump publicly stated again: in favor of TikTok continuing to operate in the United States
On December 22, local time, U.S. President-elect Trump said in a speech in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, that he was in favor of TikTok continuing to operate in the United States for a period of time. He had previously met with TikTok CEO Zhou Shouzi at Mar-a-Lago to bring about a change in the fate of the platform.
The main reason for Trump's softened attitude toward TikTok is election data. In his speech, he emphasized that with the help of the TikTok platform, which achieved record views, the Republican Party achieved an astonishing 36% lead among young voters, an unprecedented achievement.
Currently, the TikTok ban case has been transferred to the U.S. Supreme Court, and a hearing will be held on January 10, 2025. If Trump changes his policy stance after taking office, the app, which has 170 million U.S. users, may escape the fate of being forced to sell.
