He asserts that the TikTok agreement serves the national security of the U.S.

"President Trump has expressed his views clearly: primarily, TikTok is an excellent platform utilized by numerous Americans and it effectively supported his agenda throughout the campaign." “However, secondly, he will safeguard the data,” stated Mr. Walz.

In April 2024, Joe Biden signed the legislation prohibiting TikTok's operations in the United States. January 19, the social media platform ceased operating in the United States. Mr. Trump asked the court to postpone the TikTok ban in the US, vowing to determine the social network's future following the inauguration. He additionally mentioned that the application could function in the US if the company ceded 50% of shares to the US government.
