The White House has issued a statement following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision regarding TikTok. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre conveyed the administration's stance, which aligns with President Biden’s consistent position over recent months.
According to Jean-Pierre, "TikTok should remain available to Americans, but simply under American ownership or other ownership that addresses the national security concerns identified by Congress in developing this law." This reflects a bipartisan consensus within Congress that led to legislation addressing these issues.
Jean-Pierre acknowledged the timing of the court's decision and noted that "actions to implement the law simply must fall to the next Administration, which takes office on Monday."
The matter now transitions to the incoming administration as they prepare to take necessary steps in accordance with the new legal framework established by Congress.
