Donald Trump has signed an executive order temporarily suspending the sale of the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok, as mandated by a law passed in the US last year.
Trump’s order was one of a raft signed by the new president on his first day back in the White House. The order instructed Trump’s attorney general not to take any action to enforce the law mandating a sale or closure of the giant social media app in the US for a period of 75 days.
