The president-elect backed TikTok in a Truth Social post Friday as he tries to halt the law from taking effect.

President-elect Donald Trump has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to pause implementation of a law that would ban popular social media app TikTok or force its sale, arguing he should have time after taking office to pursue a "political resolution" to the issue.

The president-elect has filed a request with the Supreme Court to pause the enforcement of a law that could ban TikTok in the U.S.

President-elect Donald Trump hinted that he won’t ban TikTok due to his popularity on the app. Trump’s first administration wrestled with a TikTok ban due to national security concerns, with the former president voicing support for the measure.

The debate over whether Donald Trump wants to ban or save TikTok has gained attention as the app's future in the United States is uncertain. With a legal case in progress, Trump's involvement has raised questions.
