Trump has promised not to halt TikTok's operations in the U.S. for the time being.

The company's statement indicates that it has received the necessary assurances from Trump that providers will not be held liable for maintaining the platform's operation in the United States after its ban.

Earlier in an interview with NBC, Trump stated that after his inauguration, he will likely establish a 90-day delay for enforcing the law prohibiting TikTok. During this period, the parent company may resolve legal issues to allow Americans to continue using the social network.

According to Trump's social media post, the elected president will seek to create a joint venture for TikTok's operation in the U.S., where the American side would own at least 50%.

TikTok, the largest short video service, is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. Concerns that Chinese authorities could access personal data of Americans through TikTok and, more broadly, influence American society led Congress to pass a special law allowing for the ban of TikTok if the social network is not separated from the Chinese company. Previously, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to overturn the law.

On Saturday evening, TikTok became unavailable to American users. When attempting to launch the app, a message appeared: "Sorry, TikTok is currently unavailable. A law banning TikTok has come into effect in the U.S., and you can no longer use it. Fortunately, President Trump has stated that he will work on resolving this issue when he takes office. Stay tuned."

Additionally, the Google Play and Apple Store services have removed the option to install the TikTok app for American users. There have been no reports of the app becoming available again in the U.S.

On January 17, Trump had a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping – among other topics, they discussed TikTok, the elected U.S. president reported without details. Within the first hundred days of his presidency, Trump plans to visit China, where he intends, according to him, to "address many issues."

In an interview with NBC, Trump stated that after his inauguration, he will likely establish a 90-day delay for the law prohibiting TikTok. During this time, the parent company may resolve legal issues to allow Americans to continue using the social network.

In the U.S., TikTok has approximately 170 million subscribers.
