President-elect Trump says he should be the one to make the decision on whether TikTok can continue operating in the United States due to the unique national security and First Amendment issues raised by this case, he said in an amicus brief Friday.
President-elect Donald Trump has said he should be the one to decide whether TikTok can continue operating in the United States due to the national security and constitutional issues raised by the case.
"President Donald J. Trump is the 45th and soon to be the 47th President of the United States of America," the brief states."On January 20, 2025, President Trump will assume responsibility for the United States’ national security, foreign policy, and other vital executive functions." Trump argues that due to his"overarching responsibility for the United States’ national security and foreign policy— President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office."
"Indeed, President Trump’s first Term was highlighted by a series of policy triumphs achieved through historic deals, and he has a great prospect of success in this latest national security and foreign policy endeavor," the brief states. Trump points to the law, which"contemplates a 90-day extension to the deadline under certain specified circumstances."
