WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (China Daily/ANN): The US government said it would delay implementing a ban on Tik-Tok to comply with a court ruling, and the popular video-sharing app has been granted more time to file paperwork for a potential sale.

The US Commerce Department said in a document obtained by media on Thursday that "a preliminary injunction ordered by a federal-district court on Oct 30 prevents the implementation of specific Department actions".
