"TikTok on the verge of suspension in the U.S., Trump may bail it out"

TikTok, a Chinese-based short video-sharing site on the verge of a soon-to-be-disrupted service in the U.S., is likely to be rescued with the launch of a second Trump administration.

Representative Mike Waltz, who has been named the White House national security adviser for the second Trump administration, told Fox News that "we will take steps to prevent TikTok from going out of business."

In particular, if there is a significant progress related to the sale in the TikTok ban, there is a regulation that allows the sale to be extended by 90 days, he said, adding, "President-elect Trump will buy time for TikTok to continue to serve."

The TikTok ban calls for TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance to ban new downloads of TikTok in the U.S. from the 19th unless it sells TikTok's U.S. business rights to U.S. companies.

Trump, who actively used TikTok for his campaign during the presidential election in November last year, opposes the removal of TikTok, stating that "banning TikTok would anger young people."
