TikTok shutdown: Donald Trump asks Supreme Court to postpone decision

President-elect Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to delay a potential ban on TikTok while he works on a "political solution."

His lawyer filed a legal document in court on Friday, stating that Trump "opposes the ban on TikTok" and "seeks the opportunity to resolve the relevant issue through political means once he takes office."

On January 10, the court will hear arguments over a US law that requires TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the company to an American firm or face a ban on January 19 - the day before Trump takes office.

US officials and lawmakers have accused TikTok and ByteDance of ties to the Chinese government, charges that these companies deny.

These allegations, about an app that has 170 million users in the US, led Congress to pass a law in April, which President Joe Biden signed, that requires TikTok to be sold or banned.

TikTok and ByteDance have launched several legal challenges to the law, arguing that it threatens free speech protections in the US, but so far without success. Now, with no potential buyer, the last chance to stop the ban is through the US Supreme Court.

While the Supreme Court has previously rejected a request for an emergency injunction against the law, it has agreed to allow TikTok, ByteDance and the US government to present their arguments on January 10, just days before the ban takes effect.

The US Department of Justice has argued that alleged Chinese ties to TikTok pose a threat to national security, and several countries have raised concerns over the popular social app.

Trump has publicly stated that he is against banning TikTok, although during his first term as president he supported such a ban.
