Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he wants to “save TikTok” and is opposed to banning the app, despite earlier efforts during his administration to restrict it. Trump’s stance comes amid ongoing legal battles regarding the platform’s ownership and national security concerns tied to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
Although Trump acknowledges potential security risks, he argues that banning TikTok could benefit competitors like Facebook, which he has criticized. Legal decisions about the app’s future are expected soon, with ByteDance facing pressure to divest its U.S. operations .
