As previously reported, Trump, who was officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, signedNew Executive Order, delaying the implementation of the TikTok ban by at least 75 days, allowing the TikTok service to be temporarily and legitimately available in the United States.Resumption of operations.
However, this executive order actually only postpones the implementation of the TikTok ban, giving TikTok's US business more time to find a suitable solution, but it still cannot be downloaded through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, which means that only users who have previously downloaded and installed it are allowed to continue using it, and new users are not allowed to download and install it.
On the other hand, CapCut, the international version of Jianying, also launched by ByteDance, is currently also unable to be downloaded in the United States, but if it has been downloaded and installed before, it can continue to be used.
ByteDance has not yet confirmed how TikTok's US business will continue to exist, but it is possible that it will continue to exist by selling a certain amount of equity or allowing a US-based business to hold at least 50% of the equity by establishing a new joint venture. However, under the pressure of domestic Chinese regulations and related opinions, it seems difficult for ByteDance to continue to use this method to keep TikTok's US business.
In addition to extending the TikTok ban, Trump also adjusted many orders issued by the Biden administration team when he was sworn in, including artificial intelligence regulations proposed in October 2023, and more than 10 measures to support racial equality and combat discrimination against homosexuals and transgender people. It also ended the recognition of gender diversity, canceled citizenship based on birthrights in the United States, closed immigration asylum applications, and canceled all appointments.
Other parts include revoking the Biden administration's signing of a bill to ensure that electric vehicles account for more than half of new car sales in the United States by 2030, announcing the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, allowing the government to speed up the issuance of permits for new fossil fuel infrastructure, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America". In addition, Mount Denali in Alaska will be renamed "Mount McKinley".
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was previously revealed to be established, was also established earlier when Trump was officially sworn in. It will be led by Elon Musk and plans to cut non-essential government spending and improve executive performance.
