Trump says he will likely grant TikTok a 90-day reprieve from US ban when he takes office

President-elect said he’d probably give the company an extension from US ban the supreme court recently upheld

Donald Trump has said he will “most likely” give the Chinese-owned TikTok app a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban in the US after he takes office on Monday morning.

The incoming president said on Saturday, in an interview with NBC News, that he was considering the extension on a Sunday deadline laid down for the parent company of the wildly popular app to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese-buyer or face a ban under US law.
