Donald
trump gives 90 days..!? Last chance for TikTok..!!?
Following a US
court order, the TikTok app has been banned in the US and has been completely paralyzed in India. In this situation, the Trump-led administration has said that it will give a 90-day ultimatum to the TikTok app.
donald trump, who is to take
office as US President on
january 20, said in a telephone
interview with famous journalist Kristen Welker on
saturday that he has issued an order to give a 90-day ultimatum to the TikTok app, which has been banned in the US after
trump takes
office on Monday. Generally, when a new president takes
office in any country, everyone is closely watching what he will do in the first 100 days, but there are great expectations about what
trump will do on his first day.
While
trump has already said that he will impose high tariffs on countries including
china and Canada, the list goes on, including his stance against
china, friendship with Israel, support for Taiwan, reducing US
government spending, and now the 90-day deadline for the TikTok app. Meanwhile, although
donald trump has not made a final decision on this, he said that TikTok is considering extending the deadline for its China-based parent company by 90 days on Sunday. Meanwhile, the message sent to
customers after TikTok shut down its
service also mentioned Trump. "Unfortunately, a
court has ordered TikTok to be banned in the United States, which means you can no longer use TikTok. We will work to find a solution to bring TikTok back to use once
donald trump is sworn in as President. Please stay tuned," the TikTok app said in a statement.
trump said in a
phone interview that "a 90-day extension is probably the most likely option at this point because that's what would be appropriate. We'll have to look at this very carefully. It's a very big situation," and added, "If I decide to give it a 90-day extension, I'll announce it on Monday."
While it has already been reported that TikTok will sell half of its US operations to Elon Musk's Twitter, a TikTok spokesperson has denied this outright. Meanwhile, given a 90-day deadline, TikTok will be forced to find a US partner.
