US President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at his Mar-a-Lago estate to discuss the social media giant’s battle against a potential ban in the US.
A law passed this year mandates TikTok’s sale by its Chinese parent company ByteDance before 19 January or face a ban due to alleged security concerns.
TikTok has filed an emergency request with the US Supreme Court to delay the ban. Despite supporting a ban during his first term, Trump opposes it now, citing potential benefits to Facebook, which he accuses of aiding his 2020 election loss.
TikTok argues that the ban would cause irreparable harm to the company and its users.
