Donald Trump will “most likely” extend the looming TikTok ban by 90 days, the President-elect told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker via phone interview Saturday.
“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” he explained.
Trump added that he will announce his decision Monday.
The possibility of a 90-day extension “is explicitly allowed for in the bipartisan law passed last year,” NBC News noted, but Trump’s statement will not stop the app from going dark Sunday.
