A senior adviser said that Trump will stop blacking out the platform

US President-elect Donald Trump will find a way to save TikTok before the ban on the app takes effect later this week, his national security adviser said.

Congressman Mike Waltz, Republican of Florida, said Trump would intervene if the Supreme Court upheld a law banning the platform in the U.S. unless it is sold by Jan. 19.

Last week, NBC News reported that the Biden administration is looking for ways to prevent TikTok from suddenly disappearing.

Chinese owner ByteDance said it plans to shut down the app for its 170 million US users by Sunday.

“We’re putting measures in place to keep TikTok from going dark,” Waltz said on Thursday.

He pointed out that the law allows ByteDance a 90-day extension if there is significant improvement in sales.

“Essentially, that buys President Trump time to keep TikTok going,” Waltz said.

A day earlier, the incoming national security adviser hinted on Fox News that Trump plans to issue an executive order to end the ban.

However, it is not clear whether such a move could override the law passed by Congress.

The app has been banned on national security grounds due to concerns that it could be collected by the Chinese Communist Party.

However, according to the New York Times report, Trump has invited Tik Tok CEO Shaw Zi-Chew to attend the presidential inauguration on Monday in a place of honor at Days.

Trump previously asked the Supreme Court to delay the ban – a day before he was sworn into office – so he could find a “political” solution.

Congress passed bipartisan legislation last year that gave TikTok owner ByteDance nine months to find a US-approved buyer or face a US platform ban.

The law doesn’t ban use of the app, but it does require tech giants like Apple and Google to stop offering it and block updates, which analysts say will kill it over time.

President Joe Biden signed the bill last April as part of an aid package for Ukraine and Israel.

But according to NBC News, Biden has been considering ways to make the app available if the ban goes into effect.

According to the plan, the case will be postponed, three people familiar with the matter told NBC.

TikTok and ByteDance deny any ties to the Chinese government. He pointed out that it is not possible to sell.

The Supreme Court last week heard Tik Tok and ByteDance’s arguments against the law.

A decision is expected any day.

Both Biden and Trump changed their stance on the platform.

Trump tried to ban the app during his first term in office, but his campaign said he would defend it this year.
