“Americans should not expect a sudden ban on TikTok on Sunday,” an administration official said, adding that officials are “exploring options” on how to implement the law so that TikTok does not disappear on Sunday.
If the administration moves forward with any such plan, it would mean that the shutdown of the popular app would not mark his last full day in office, and would defer the decision to Donald Trump, who is inaugurated on Monday
Mike Waltz, Trump’s new national security adviser, told Fox News on Wednesday that Trump is willing to step in to keep a Chinese video app in the U.S. market. And Pam Bondi, his nominee for attorney general, refused to commit to securing the ban when asked about it at her Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
However, a White House spokesman insisted that defaulting on the ban, if it is upheld, is not an option.
“We are not considering delaying its implementation,” the spokesman said. “We do not believe we have the authority under the law to do so.”
TikTok is considering its options, including the latest possibility that it will shut down on Sunday, though it could also allow the app to remain live without future updates and bug fixes.
