Source: Trump says he will issue an executive order Monday to get TikTok back up
当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周日表示，他计划发布一项行政命令，让 TikTok 的中国母公司有更多时间寻找获批买家，否则该热门视频分享平台将受到美国永久禁令的制裁。 特朗普在其真相传媒账户上发布帖子宣布了这一决定，因为数百万美国 TikTok 用户一觉醒来发现他们无法再访问 TikTok 应用程序或平台。谷歌和苹果已将该应用程序从他们的数字商店中移除，以遵守一项联邦法律。如果 TikTok 母公司字节跳动未能在周日之前将其美国业务出售给获批买家，该法律要求他们这样做。 他说，他的命令将“延长法律禁令生效前的期限”，并“确认在我的命令之前任何帮助阻止 TikTok 关闭的公司将不承担任何责任。” 特朗普写道，“美国人应该在周一看到我们激动人心的就职典礼，以及其他活动和对话。”法律赋予现任总统权力，如果有可行的出售正在进行中，可以批准 90 天的延期。尽管投资者提出了一些报价，但字节跳动此前表示不会出售。特朗普在周日的帖子中表示，他“希望美国在合资企业中拥有 50% 的所有权”，但目前尚不清楚他是否指的是美国政府对一家美国公司的所有权。
President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that he plans to issue an executive order that would give TikTok’s China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer before the popular video-sharing platform is subject to a permanent U.S. ban.
Trump announced the decision in a post on his Truth Social account as millions of TikTok users in the U.S. awoke to discover they could no longer access the TikTok app or platform. Google and Apple removed the app from their digital stores to comply with a federal law that required them to do so if TikTok parent company ByteDance didn’t sell its U.S. operation to an approved buyer by Sunday.
He said his order would “extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect” and “confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.
“Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations,” Trump wrote.
The law gives the sitting president authority to grant a 90-day extension if a viable sale is underway. Although investors made a few offers, ByteDance previously said it would not sell. In his post on Sunday, Trump said he “would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture,” but it was not immediately clear if he was referring to the government of an American company.
