In 2020, he moved to ban the Chinese-owned app. Now, he is opposing the Biden administration’s effort to do just that.

President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.

President-elect Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court to pause a controversial ban on TikTok that is set to take effect next month, telling the justices in a legal filing Friday that a delay would allow his administration to “pursue a negotiated resolution.

Donald Trump believes he can cut a deal that would keep TikTok legal while addressing the U.S. government's national security concerns.

Trump told the Supreme Court he can negotiate a solution to the legal battle over TikTok's survival in the United States.

In his message to the Supreme Court, Trump asserts a myriad of reasons as to why he's uniquely positioned to address the supposed national security concerns tied with TikTok being owned by a China-based company while simultaneously saving the platform from a ban.

On Friday, Dec. 27, Trump submitted a legal filing asking for a delay so that his administration could "pursue a negotiated resolution" to the TikTok ban. Trump's filing is in direct competition with the Biden administration, who wrote in a briefing on Friday that TikTok poses a "grave" threat to national security.
