Trump Signs Order Delaying Enforcement Of TikTok Ban In U.S.

In one of his initial actions after inauguration, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to refrain from enforcing a TikTok ban for 75 days. This move seems aimed at saving the platform in the U.S., following a similar ban signed by former President Joe Biden the year before. The executive order prevents any penalties for noncompliance with the ban during the 75-day period. Trump has proposed a potential deal where the U.S. could own half of TikTok, with the remaining ownership staying with the platform. He suggested that China’s involvement could complicate the deal, warning of possible tariffs if China obstructs the arrangement.

For the deal to progress, Trump must ensure that TikTok is no longer under Chinese control, particularly in terms of its algorithm and data-sharing practices. Biden’s law prohibits any Chinese entity from having ties with TikTok, even via agreements with U.S. companies. Trump must also certify to Congress that significant progress is made toward a divestiture and that binding legal agreements are in place.

Additionally, Trump’s first Cabinet official, former Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, was confirmed unanimously as the Secretary of State. Rubio is known for his hard stance on China and is expected to play a crucial role in addressing issues like the Ukraine conflict and China’s growing influence.

Trump’s administration is expected to push forward with over 200 executive actions focused on energy, border security, reducing living costs, and eliminating DEI programs. His actions aim to significantly reform U.S. governance, with a strong emphasis on restoring American sovereignty.
