TikTok CEO thanks Trump for push to keep app available in US as ban looms
Shou Chew's comments came after the US Supreme Court on Friday rejected a last-minute appeal by TikTok against the ban that would go into effect on 19 January.
With President-elect Donald Trump adding uncertainty around whether a TikTok ban will go into effect, the focus is now turning to companies like Google and Apple that are expected to take the popular video sharing app off their platforms in just two days.
Last April, US President Joe Biden signed a law which gave TikTok a deadline of Sunday January 19 to separate its US business from parent firm ByteDance, a China-based company whose control of TikTok is seen as a national security threat by the US government.
