When asked about whether President-elect Donald Trump would prevent a TikTok ban in the United States, a spokeswoman told The New York Times: “He will deliver.”

The president-elect promised to ‘save’ the social media app, which faces a deadline early next year to find a non-China-based owner.

Trump’s flip-flop on TikTok has been pretty extraordinary, even by the topsy-turvy standards of 2024. The former president signed an executive order in the summer of 2020 to force TikTok’s parent company in China, ByteDance, to sell to a U.S.-based company or face a ban. And he didn’t mince words about how much he hated the app.
