Trump says he will issue an executive order Monday to get TikTok back up

President-Elect Donald Trump announced plans to issue an executive order to delay TikTok's ban, allowing its parent company more time to find a buyer before a permanent ban takes effect.
Millions of U.S. TikTok users found the app inaccessible after Apple and Google removed it from their stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. Operations.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law mandating ByteDance to divest TikTok, citing national security concerns, while the Biden administration indicated it would not enforce the ban before Trump's inauguration.
Trump's executive order aims to extend the timeframe for a sale and proposes a 50% U.S. Ownership stake in TikTok to ensure its operation in the country.
