Donald Trump Meets TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew Ahead Of Looming US Ban

US President-elect Donald Trump recently met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This meeting comes as TikTok faces a looming ban in the US due to concerns over its ownership by Chinese parent company ByteDance.

A law passed earlier this year stipulates that TikTok must be sold by ByteDance before January 19 to avoid a ban. TikTok has filed an emergency application with the US Supreme Court to delay the ban, citing the need for a review and allowing the incoming administration to assess the situation.

On Monday, TikTok asked the Supreme Court for a "modest delay" to "create breathing room" for a review of the ban by the court and the incoming administration to evaluate the decision. It has also said that TikTok is one of the most significant speech platforms and the ban would cause "irreparable harm" to the company and users.
