President-elect Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court to block a potential ban on TikTok, expressing a preference for a "political resolution" before the ban takes effect.

 

The appeal coincides with conflicting legal filings from TikTok and the Biden administration. TikTok seeks to overturn legislation that could ban the app by Jan. 19, 2025, while the US government defends the law as vital to national security.

 

Speaking to Arizona supporters, Trump emphasized TikTok’s impact, noting billions of views on the platform during his campaign. He expressed a willingness to allow the app’s temporary operation in the US.
