Biden administration weighed options with impending TikTok ban, but decision will likely fall to Trump
Popular video sharing app TikTok is facing a potential ban in the US if Biden administration does not give assurances to Google and Apple.
A bipartisan bill banning TikTok was passed by Congress and signed into law by Biden last year. While Trump previously called for a ban on the app due to its ties to the Chinese government, he has more recently been opposed to the ban and indicated that he will seek to reverse it.

TikTok is pressuring President Joe Biden in his final days to decline to enforce the ban; the administration says the timing makes any decision Donald Trump’s responsibility.
A ban on the popular app is set to start Sunday, although the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold it.
Congress last year in a law signed by President Joe Biden required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19 or risk getting banned in the U.S.
President Joe Biden is reportedly not planning to enforce TikTok’s ban on Jan. 19, and is opting to leave the fate of the app in President-elect Donald Trump’s hands. Speaking on condition of anonymity,
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday, Jan. 17, to uphold a law that would ban the app for the 170 million people who use the app in the U.S. The ruling lines up with decisions other courts have made and sets up the ban to go into effect on Sunday, Jan. 19.
Donald Trump has arrived in Washington to celebrate with family, supporters and political allies ahead of his second inauguration.
