President Trump has issued an executive order providing TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a statute that demands a sale or ban of the platform.
He said during that time, the US will not execute the measure passed by Congress last year and signed by former President Joe Biden.
Trump signed a number of orders on Monday night, including this one.
“I tell you what,” he said to reporters in the Oval Office. Every wealthy individual has contacted me regarding TikTok.
When a reporter asked Trump why he changed his mind about trying to outlaw TikTok in 2020, he said, “Because I got to use it.”
