TikTok started going dark for 170 million American users in an unprecedented display of the U.S.-China divide over technology and national security.

The incoming president said he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day extension called for in a law upheld by the Supreme Court yesterday to see it sold or banned by a deadline tomorrow. In a phone interview with Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News,

In July 2020, then-President Donald Trump told reporters he would ban TikTok. The next month, he signed an executive order seeking to ban the app.

TikTok's future is in Donald Trump's hands, as President Joe Biden reportedly has no intention of enforcing a ban set to go into effect on Sunday.

"A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. 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," the alert continued.

President-elect Donald Trump told ABC News he is likely to grant TikTok a 90-day extension to avoid a ban in the United States.

Trump says an announcement will probably come once he takes office on Monday about the app's future in the US.

President-elect Donald Trump says he “most likely” will give TikTok 90 more days to work out a deal that would allow the popular video-sharing platform to avoid a U.S. ban.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

The Chinese-owned company said it would cut off its services unless the U.S. assures Apple, Google and other companies that they would not be punished for hosting and distributing TikTok.

President-elect Donald Trump said he will "most likely" give TikTok a 90-day grace period to avoid getting banned once he takes office on Jan. 20.
