NEW YORK: During his first term as president, Donald Trump led the effort to ban TikTok, the hugely popular video-sharing site he said posed a threat to US national security. But on the eve of his return to the White House, the president-elect is being hailed as the app's saviour.
After going dark for users this weekend, Trump said on his social media site that he would issue an executive order after he's sworn in for a second term on Monday delaying a TikTok ban "so that we can make a deal to protect our national security”.
