Analysis
According to NBC News, President-elect Trump is expected to extend the TikTok ban for another 90 days. Trump said he is "most likely" to extend the deadline for TikTok's use to avoid a ban and could announce the decision on Monday. He is considering pushing back the deadline for TikTok parent company ByteDance to sell the app to a non-Chinese company by 90 days, and thinks that extension for 90 days is the most likely, as it is appropriate. Trump's move means that the fate of TikTok in the US is still uncertain, and its parent company ByteDance will have more time to find a suitable buyer to avoid being banned by the US government.
