Trump: "Very likely" to give TikTok a 90-day grace period on the day he took office

On January 19, US President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC on the 18th that he will "probably" give TikTok a 90-day grace period on the day of his inauguration on the 20th to temporarily avoid its ban in the United States. Trump said that although no final decision has been made, he is considering asking ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to delay the deadline for the sale of TikTok to non-Chinese companies by 90 days. He said that this is an option under consideration, "an extension of 90 days is most likely because it is appropriate". If he decides to do so, he will announce it on the day of his inauguration on the 20th.
