President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order that allows TikTok to continue operating in the United States while aiming to address national security concerns.
The White House announced that the move prevents a ban on TikTok, a platform used by 170 million Americans. According to the administration, this decision ensures that users can continue accessing global content on TikTok with enhanced data security measures in place within the country.
“President Trump found a solution for the 170 million Americans who use TikTok, ensuring users will be able to safely enjoy the same global TikTok experience and view content from around the world with the confidence that their data is secure in the United States,” according to a statement from the White House.
The administration emphasized President Trump’s negotiating skills. “President Trump has demonstrated time and again his ability to close deals that put America and its citizens first,” stated the release.
