On January 18th, the Biden administration announced on January 17th that the task of enforcing the TikTok ban, which will take effect in two days, will be undertaken by President elect Trump. On the 17th, the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of the ban on short video social media platform TikTok in the United States. White House Press Secretary Karin Jean Pierre emphasized in a statement that due to time constraints, the new administration will take on the task of enforcing this law after taking office on the 20th. However, President elect Trump recently stated that he is considering issuing an executive order to suspend TikTok sales or ban laws for 60 to 90 days after taking office. But even if an administrative order is issued, it will still face legal challenges. The President’s executive orders cannot override federal laws. On April 24 last year, US President Biden signed a bill passed by both houses of Congress, requiring TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell TikTok to non Chinese enterprises within 270 days, otherwise this application will be disabled in the US.
