TikTok’s last hope? CEO Shou Chew meets Donald Trump ahead of US ban deadline

TikTok CEO Shou Chew reportedly met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday (December 16), just weeks before a US ban on the app is expected to take effect. This development comes amid national security concerns that have fueled efforts to shut TikTok down.

Speaking to reporters, he said, “We’ll take a look at TikTok. You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok,” suggesting a willingness to intervene to reverse the ban.
