On Monday, U.S. President signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of the TikTok ban by 75 days, originally set for January 19th. The order instructs the attorney general not to enforce the ban to allow for a decision on the next steps regarding TikTok.
Moreover, it mandates the Justice Department to send letters to TikTok partners such as Apple, Google, and Oracle, reassuring them that no violations have occurred during the specified period.
When questioned about the TikTok order, Trump stated that it "just gave me the right to sell it or close it," emphasizing the need for a decision to be made.
