Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asks President Trump what’s behind his desire to save TikTok after once viewing the popular app as a spy agent for China.
President Trump chose to delay the ban on TikTok for 75 days in an executive order Monday, marking one of his first actions in his new administration.
Trump signed the order from the Oval Office hours after he was inaugurated for his second term. The move comes days after the Supreme Court upheld the ban.
The order also came days after TikTok briefly became inaccessible to U.S. users and after Trump signaled that he wanted to keep the app accessible, even though it is not entirely owned by a U.S. company.
In his executive order, Trump wrote that he had “sole constitutional responsibility for the national security of the United States, the conduct of foreign policy, and other vital executive functions.”
