Yes, Donald Trump has taken actions to prevent TikTok from being banned or shut down in the United States. On January 19, 2025, Trump confirmed that he would issue an executive order to delay the TikTok ban. This move comes as the app was on the verge of being shut down for its 170 million American users. The executive order aims to extend the app's operations for an additional 90 days, allowing users to continue using the platform while discussions about its future proceed.
Preview
Trump's intervention was prompted by concerns over the potential economic and social impact of banning TikTok, a platform that has become a significant part of the digital landscape in the U.S. Despite initial opposition and warnings from some Republican senators about the lack of legal basis for such an extension, Trump's decision to delay the ban has been seen as a strategic move to maintain the app's presence in the U.S. market.
