US President-elect Donald Trump has filed a request with the US Supreme Court to delay an impending TikTok ban, scheduled for January 19. Trump's legal team argues for a "political resolution" once he assumes office, emphasizing the clash between free-speech rights and national security concerns. The court will hear arguments on January 10 regarding the law demanding TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, sell the platform to an American company. Trump has opposed the ban, despite supporting it during his presidency, and recently met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Mar-a-Lago.
