President-elect Donald Trump is weighing a plan that could delay America’s TikTok ban, giving the new administration more time to potentially cut a deal with a US buyer to save the super-popular video app, sources familiar with the plans told CNN. The potential executive order, which was first reported by The Washington Post, would strive to allow TikTok’s 170 million American users to continue to use the app for a certain period of time as the administration sorts out who could potentially buy it. Trump, who supported a TikTok ban as president, has recently said he wants to keep the app alive – even posting a TikTok video in June in which he said he wanted to “save TikTok.” Last month, he asked the Supreme Court to stay the law so his incoming administration could work out a deal to keep TikTok available to Americans. Still, Trump may ultimately decline to act. As the deadline draws closer, Trump – who’s never shied away from overt suggestions for the executive and judicial branches – has otherwise sat this one out. TikTok and ByteDance, its China-based owner, have less than 4 days left before the app is banned in the United States – if it doesn’t sell itself to an American buyer. TikTok declined to comment on the possibilities Trump or Biden could take action to save the app.
