WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden belatedly joined TikTok on Feb 11, marking his debut on the social media platform with a 26-second video.

The move comes after fierce US government criticism of the video-sharing platform in recent years, most notably from Republicans but also from the Biden administration.
