When asked about whether President-elect Donald Trump would prevent a TikTok ban in the United States, a spokeswoman told The New York Times: \u201cHe will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok, the Chinese-owned video app set to be banned in the United States in two and a half months, is hoping that President-elect Donald J. Trump will find a way to rescue it after a smattering of promises to that effect on the campaign trail this year.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s team says he will \u201cdeliver\u201d on those promises \u2014 though the details are hazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail,\u201d Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance\u2019s transition team, said in a statement. \u201cHe will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s support for TikTok would be a stunning reversal from 2020, when he tried to block the app in the United States and force its sale to American companies because of its ownership by ByteDance, the Chinese tech giant.<\/p>\n

TikTok, which has 170 million U.S. users, has faced a possible ban since a new law was signed in April. The law says that the app must be sold to a non-Chinese company by Jan. 19 \u2014 a day before Mr. Trump\u2019s inauguration \u2014 or face a ban in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

The company has challenged<\/a> the law in courts in something of a Hail Mary, saying that a sale is impossible, partly because of restrictions from the Chinese government, and that a subsequent ban would represent an unconstitutional breach of the First Amendment.<\/p>\n

But the law passed with wide bipartisan support, and many experts believe a federal court in Washington will side<\/a> with the U.S. government.<\/p>\n
