DECEMBER 2024: TRANSITION Trump Asks Supreme Court To Pause TikTok Ban So He Can Negotiate Resolution

Trump Asks Supreme Court To Pause TikTok Ban So He Can Negotiate Resolution
"President-elect Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to block a law that could ban TikTok within the United States, stating that he would like to pursue negotiations to resolve some of the issues involved and salvage the platform.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments over the law on Jan. 10, just nine days before the deadline for TikTok’s parent company to either divest from the platform in the United States or face an effective ban.
Trump’s brief underscored the importance of the timing and urged the court to give him more of an opportunity to handle the issue as chief executive.
This timing binds the hands of the incoming Administration on a significant issue of national security and foreign policy, and thus it raises significant questions under Article II,” the brief read.
Article II refers to the section of the constitution vesting executive authority with the president. Trump’s brief said the law raised questions about legislative encroachment on executive authority." ZeroHedge
