Through a flurry of orders, the new president quickly began driving the country in a different direction on many contentious issues.
President Trump made major policy moves immediately after taking office, withdrawing from major international agreements, promising steep tariffs and pardoning nearly all of the Jan. 6 rioters.
Shortly after taking office Monday, the president issued the order to delay the app’s ban by at least 75 days. The law went into effect on Sunday.
The ego-stroking message to the man who once famously declared, “I Alone Can Fix It,” was clear.
President-elect Donald J. Trump has made big promises on Ukraine, Iran, China and crises around the globe. But he will have to make difficult choices.
A unanimous Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law that effectively bans the wildly popular app TikTok in the United States starting on Sunday, Jan. 19. Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court for The New York Times, explains how free speech and national security collided in this decision.
It is unclear if Mr. Trump, who has previously said he will spare the social media platform, will or can stop the ban.
Until this week, the app was little known outside of China.
The law that took aim at TikTok over national security concerns has prompted Americans looking for alternatives to download Xiaohongshu, a social media app that is popular in China.
Grief, frustration and tears followed the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday.
