US Implements Tight Export Restrictions on AI Chips to Dozens of Countries

In addition, President Joe Biden’s government said it would hand over decisions regarding the fate of TikTok in the United States to the next government under President-Elect Donald Trump.

Even so, the Joe Biden government has a clear position, namely the desire for TikTok to be under the control of a United States company or entity if it wants to continue operating in that country.

“Our position is very clear, TikTok must operate under American ownership,” the White House said in a statement to ABC News, as quoted by The VergeFriday (17/1/2025).

Furthermore, it was also stated that because the implementation time for the TikTok ban in the US (January 19 2025) was on a holiday weekend and the day before the inauguration, the Biden government handed over the implementation of the ban policy to the next administration.

However, various things can happen. Even though Trump has given fresh air to save TikTok, there is still not much he can do to save TikTok.

Unless Donald Trump officially extends the term for ByteDance’s sale of TikTok to an American company.
