Need to save TikTok, want to keep jobs in US: Trump at Maga Victory Rally

Hours before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump said that he agreed to “approve” TikTok on the condition that the USA will own 50 per cent of the Chinese app to “save” American jobs and prevent “our business” going to the communist nation.

Earlier, the Chinese short-form video service app expressed gratitude to Trump for “providing the necessary clarity and assurance,” and confirmed that it is in the process of restoring service in the United States after Trump pledged to restore access to TikTok, which had stopped functioning in the US on Saturday night to comply with the Biden dispensation’s ban order.
