President-elect Donald Trump’s position on TikTok remains unclear as a potential January ban looms.

The app faces restrictions unless the United States Congress changes the law.

Four years ago, Trump aimed to limit TikTok’s access in the U.S. However, recent signals suggest he might support keeping it operational.

While Congress holds the power to alter the divestment law, Trump has significant influence over TikTok’s future.

Experts say he could direct the Justice Department not to enforce penalties on entities that maintain TikTok’s accessibility. Nonetheless, this could be only a temporary solution.

Trump might also consider using legal provisions that could exempt companies if a “qualified divestiture” is declared. This would require declaring TikTok as not controlled by a foreign adversary.
