If it involves Chinese companies, China’s laws and regulations should be observed,

Mao said on Monday

This is all a game of high-stakes poker,

said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives

There are no winners here, unless Congress repeals this law,

David Greene, the organization’s Civil Liberties Director, said in a statement

No but I think I might put it there,

said Trump, who credits the platform with helping him win more youth votes during last year's presidential election

I don't have the Secret Service telling me everything they're worried about. I get the disinformation to a degree. The spying? I don't know. I'm just a common dude sitting here looking on TikTok and asking, what are they talking about?"

he explained

I'm very concerned about how many people earn a living. It's huge. You can't underestimate that. And just to cut it out – and you got people who are investing in Meta writing the bills, it's all pretty confusing,

he said Tuesday on "The Will Cain Show."

TikTok’s attempts to blame the government are deceiving. The law is not a ban, and Congress gave TikTok a straightforward path to continue operating: Sever ties with the Chinese government, and the restrictions will be immediately lifted,

Moolenaar wrote

But even as American buyers have lined up to make an offer, ByteDance has refused to discuss the possibility of a sale. In a move that is raising eyebrows, the company appears willing to watch its reportedly $50 billion U.S. operation go up in flames rather than comply with the law’s simple requirement to divest,

he continued

As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!”

When the social media platform returned Sunday morning, it included a pop up message for users who opened the app

I will start by talking about the response, or perhaps the lack of responses of the EU to Trump’s inauguration. It represents a threat to the whole of the European Union,

said French member of the European Parliament Manon Aubry, co-chair of The Left group, at a press conference this morning

I definitely don’t think highly of Elon Musk as a politician, from what we know so far. But such a gesture, given his already known proximity to right-wing populists in the fascist tradition, must worry every democrat,

said German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach from the center-left Social Democratic Party

Justin Trudeauprime Minister

We know that if the United States is going to see an increase in jobs, manufacturing and economic growth, they’re going to require more energy, more inputs, everything from lumber and concrete to steel and aluminum to critical minerals that are the essential ingredients in the economy of the future,

Trudeau said this morning

I guess I have a warm spot for TikTok I didn’t have originally,

Trump said at a press conference on Monday night

TikTok is still facing several challenges in the US. How to maintain user growth amid fierce market competition is an urgent problem. In addition, the US government may continue to leverage political power to contain it, which further increases its uncertainties and operational difficulties in the country,

he said

TikTok accounts for 80 percent of our online marketing. If it’s banned, users will likely migrate to other platforms, and we are preparing to quickly adapt to any shifts in trends."

Another brand spokesperson said

We heavily rely on TikTok for influencer collaborations and marketing. The recent suspension caused significant anxiety, but we’re relieved by this decision."

An indie brand official said

True, as a legal matter, a president can’t simply suspend the operation of a duly enacted law,

Carter wrote

It ultimately goes up to me, so you’re going to see what I’m going to do,

Trump told CNN

They tell you this is about China,

Paul said in a statement

Shareholders of providers would have a valid case against companies that rely on the EO,
