TikTok suspended service in US as scheduled...Trump "Let's get TikTok"

Services in the U.S. have been suspended due to a TikTok ban in the U.S.

TikTok was deleted from the app store operated by Google and Apple on the night of the 18th Eastern time, and a notice appears that it will not be available when existing users access it.

TikTok says it cannot temporarily offer services due to the effect of the TikTok ban and is working to allow it to resume U.S. services as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump, who is set to take office on the 20th, posted a message on his SNS, "Let's save TikTok."

Earlier, in an interview with NBC, Trump said he would suspend TikTok's ban on services in the U.S. for 90 days and would announce the decision on the 20th, when the inauguration ceremony takes place.

This is interpreted as an indication that the TikTok ban would invoke a rule that allows the sale to be extended by 90 days if significant progress is made regarding the sale.
