President-elect Donald Trump's legal team has requested the Supreme Court to delay a law that mandates TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. set for January 19. The filing argues that the timeline interferes with Trump's ability to manage foreign policy as he prepares for his inauguration. While challenging the law's constitutionality, Trump's lawyers assert he has the expertise to negotiate a resolution that addresses national security concerns. Supporters of the law cite data privacy risks associated with TikTok, which Trump has more recently defended.
