Donald Trump says 90-day delay to TikTok ban is “likely” after inauguration

Donald Trump has said that he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day delay to its ban in the US once he is in office.

The social media platform officially shut down in the country on Saturday (January 18) ahead of a Supreme Court deadline that had been set for Sunday.

“Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” was the message seen by users of the app after the shutdown.

“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”
