The battle over the future of the US spin-off of the Chinese video platform TikTok will likely drag on. Shortly before his inauguration on Monday, the new US President Donald Trump announced plans to seek a 50 percent stake in TikTok through a US company. This would mean a forced sale of the entire company is off the table. Trump wants to grant TikTok’s parent company a 90-day grace period to find a solution to the dispute. Since Sunday, TikTok has been unavailable in the US.
