United States President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to extend the timeline for enforcing a ban on TikTok.

This extension aims to allow negotiations that address national security concerns while enabling the platform to remain operational.

The proposed solution involves forming a joint venture where the US would hold a 50% ownership stake. Trump did not specify whether it would be under the US government or an American company.

This framework seeks to ensure TikTok’s operations are managed securely while defending national interests.

An executive order expected on Jan. 20 will clarify that companies assisting TikTok during negotiations will not face legal liability.
