Trump proposed that service providers like Apple and Google keep TikTok operational in the U.S., offering a joint venture where the U.S. owns half of the app. This approach aims to secure national security while allowing Americans access to TikTok's content, which Trump believes is essential, especially with his upcoming inauguration. He mentioned that by securing U.S. approval, the app could be worth billions to trillions of dollars.
Despite Trump's efforts and a suggestion for a 90-day extension to facilitate discussions about TikTok's future, Republicans have expressed skepticism about halting the ban without a legitimate sale. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the commitment to enforce existing laws, indicating that even Trump's influential stance may not suffice to mitigate potential fines against tech companies.
