Shou Zi Chew thanked the incoming president for efforts to "find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States."

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld a lower court ruling that the app TikTok owned by China’s ByteDance must sell itself or be banned in the U.S.

TikTok said Friday night it would "go dark" Sunday. Trump told NBC hours later he would probably issue an order temporarily saving the app from a ban.

The Chinese-owned company said it would cut off its services unless the U.S. assures Apple, Google and other companies that they would not be punished for hosting and distributing TikTok.

President-elect Donald Trump spoke on the possibility of delaying a ban less than 24 hours from when the social media app is expected to shut down.

President-elect Donald Trump said he will “most likely” delay a ban on TikTok for 90 days after he takes office on Monday but noted he has not made a final decision in a phone interview with NBC News on Saturday.

With the President-elect Donald Trump set to take office in a matter of days, TikTok could potentially be saved in the 11th hour.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said on Friday he wants to thank U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for his commitment to work with the company and find a solution that keeps the app available in the United States.

In July 2020, then-President Donald Trump told reporters he would ban TikTok. The next month, he signed an executive order seeking to ban the app.

The president-elect and Joe Biden are reportedly exploring legal avenues for keeping the app accessible. Meanwhile, a growing list of entrepreneurs are said to be weighing a buyout.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew is scheduled to attend Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Monday, a source familiar with the plans confirmed. His attendance comes as TikTok’s future in the United States is in doubt.
