<p>President-elect Donald Trump responded to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-allows-tiktok-ban-to-take-effect?topStoryPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court&#8217;s Friday ruling</a> that upholds a ban on Chinese-owned TikTok, saying that he will decide whether to take any executive action &#8220;in the not too distant future.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the high court&#8217;s ruling, the ban on TikTok will go into effect on Sunday unless the social media platform&#8217;s parent company — Chinese-owned ByteDance — sells TikTok to an American company. The Biden administration <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-administration-trump-implement-tiktok-ban-rcna188155" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> it will leave the issue for Trump to address as soon as he is sworn in on Monday.</p>
<p>Trump, who has reportedly considered issuing an executive order to allow TikTok to remain available in app stores in the U.S., said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113844584193010573" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Truth Social that the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling wasn&#8217;t surprising, and added that he would &#8220;review the situation&#8221; before taking any executive action.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Supreme Court decision was expected, and everyone must respect it. My decision on TikTok will be made in the not too distant future, but I must have time to review the situation. Stay tuned!&#8221; Trump wrote.</p>
<p>Enforcement of the law will be the executive branch&#8217;s responsibility, and Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/17/politics/tiktok-ban-supreme-court/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN shortly after the ruling was handed down that the decision on TikTok&#8217;s future &#8220;ultimately goes up to me, so you’re going to see what I’m going to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Congress has given me the decision, so I’ll be making the decision,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Earlier on Friday, Trump said he spoke to Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping about multiple issues, including TikTok.</p>

<p>“I just spoke to Chairman Xi Jinping of China. The call was a very good one for both China and the U.S.A.,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately. We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects. President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!”</p>
<p>Trump has flipped on the TikTok issue between his first and second terms. During his first term, Trump attempted to ban TikTok, but he recently met with TikTok&#8217;s CEO and <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/16/us-news/donald-trump-has-warm-spot-in-my-heart-for-tiktok-as-app-store-ban-looms-in-january/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he has a &#8220;warm spot&#8221; for the social media giant after it helped energize young Americans who voted for him in the 2024 election.</p>
<p>TikTok &#8220;collects extensive personal information from and about its users,&#8221; the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/17/politics/tiktok-ban-supreme-court/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, adding, that the platform does “not dispute that the government has an important and well-grounded interest in preventing China from collecting the personal data of tens of millions of U.S. TikTok users. Nor could they.&#8221; U.S. lawmakers and the Biden administration raised alarms about the national security threat presented by TikTok, arguing that the communist government could manipulate the platform&#8217;s content in a way that pushes Chinese propaganda on American citizens.</p>
<p>The Supreme Court acknowledged the threat, writing, “Data collection and analysis is a common practice in this digital age. But TikTok’s scale and susceptibility to foreign adversary control, together with the vast swaths of sensitive data the platform collects, justify differential treatment to address the Government’s national security concerns.”</p>
