- TikTok CEO Shou Chew thanks President-elect Donald Trump for his commitment to averting a US ban on the app.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew has expressed his gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump for his pledge to stop the app from being banned in the US. This comes after the company lost its final appeal to the Supreme Court, which upheld a law that could force TikTok to shut down in the US due to national security concerns.
Chew thanked Trump in a video post, saying, “I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States.” Trump has reportedly signalled that he would save the app from a likely ban, and Chew plans to attend Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
The US Supreme Court’s decision has created uncertainty about the future of TikTok in the US, but Trump’s commitment to finding a solution has provided a glimmer of hope for the app’s users.
