Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asks President Trump what is behind his desire to save TikTok after once considering the popular app a spy agent of China.
President Trump opted to delay the TikTok ban for 75 days in an executive order on Monday, marking one of his first moves in his new administration.
Trump signed the order from the Oval Office hours after he was inaugurated into his second term. The move comes days after the Supreme Court upheld the ban.
The order also came days after TikTok briefly went dark for U.S. users, and after Trump signaled that he was interested in keeping the app accessible, even if it is not completely owned by a U.S. company.
In his executive order, Trump wrote that he has “the unique constitutional responsibility for the national security of the United States, the conduct of foreign policy, and other vital executive functions.”
