TikTok Restored After Trump Promises to Save the App

TikTok restored its services in the United States on Sunday, just hours after shutting down due to a national ban.

The app’s comeback followed a statement from President-elect Donald Trump pledging to issue an executive order delaying the enforcement of the ban.

The app became unavailable late Saturday, leaving users with a message citing the newly enacted law prohibiting TikTok’s operations in the U.S.

By Sunday morning, TikTok announced it had reached agreements with service providers to resume operations, crediting Trump’s intervention.

Trump’s executive order, expected after his inauguration, aims to extend the deadline for TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app to an American owner. Trump has proposed a 50-50 joint venture between ByteDance and a U.S. entity as a potential solution.

While TikTok’s restoration is a relief for its 170 million U.S. users, its long-term future remains uncertain. Congressional opposition and national security concerns surrounding ByteDance’s ownership could complicate Trump’s plans to keep the app operational.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration events, signaling a close alignment between the company and the incoming administration.
