TikTok that stopped service in the U.S. "Restoration process in progress...Trump convinces me"

TikTok, a Chinese video platform that suspended its service hours before the implementation of the so-called "anti-TikTok law" in the U.S., has begun restoring its service.

TikTok said in a statement posted on its X (X, formerly Twitter) account that it was "undergoing the process of restoring TikTok services in agreement with service providers."

"I am grateful that President-elect Trump has given the service providers confidence that they will not face any punishment," he said. "We will work with President-elect Trump to find a long-term solution to maintain TikTok in the United States."

Earlier, in a post on social media, Trump said he would issue an executive order on the day of his inauguration to extend the period of sale of TikTok's U.S. business rights specified in the TikTok ban, adding to the resumption of TikTok services.
