US President-elect Donald Trump indicated on December 22 that he favored allowing TikTok to keep operating in the United States for at least a little while before a crowd of conservative supporters in Phoenix, Arizona.
当地时间12月22日,美国当选总统特朗普在亚利桑那州首府菲尼克斯发表讲话时表示,他倾向于让TikTok在美国继续运营一段时间。
Trump's comments were one of the strongest signals yet that he opposes a potential exit of TikTok from the US market, saying he had received billions of views on the social media platform during his presidential campaign.
这是特朗普迄今为止反对TikTok退出美国市场最强烈的信号之一。特朗普表示,在参加总统竞选期间,他在TikTok上发布的视频获得了数十亿的浏览量。
Donald Trump joined TikTok in June this year. "It's my honor," Trump said in a video post.
当地时间6月1日,特朗普入驻社交媒体TikTok并发布了其第一条视频。视频中他表示,加入TikTok是他的“荣幸”。
In April, US President Joe Biden enacted the law that gives ByteDance only 270 days to sell TikTok, citing unfounded national security concerns. If the company fails to comply, the law will require app store operators such as Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their platforms.
今年4月24日,美国总统拜登签署一项国会通过的法案,要求TikTok母公司字节跳动在270天内将TikTok出售给非中国企业,否则这款应用程序将在美国被禁用。

当地时间12月16日,TikTok紧急要求美国联邦最高法院临时冻结美政府针对该平台的强迫出售令。TikTok在其社交媒体账号上发布声明,要求美国联邦最高法院认定强迫出售令违反了美国宪法第一修正案。声明说,如果不冻结强迫出售令,一个月内,TikTok上的小商家将损失超过10亿美元收入,创作者将损失近3亿美元。
Trump met with TikTok's CEO last Monday. Trump said at a news conference the same day that he had a "warm spot" for TikTok thanks to his campaign's success on the app.
据多家美国媒体报道,16日美国当选总统特朗普在佛罗里达州海湖庄园会见TikTok首席执行官周受资。特朗普在当天举行的记者会上说,“我们会研究一下关于TikTok的事情,你知道,我对TikTok有好感。”

Trump's incoming administration is reportedly interested in "halting" the TikTok ban, but he has not yet announced any concrete commitment to doing so or suggested how he could oppost a ban.
不过,美国《福布斯》杂志注意到,截至目前,“特朗普尚未就暂停禁令做出任何具体承诺,也没有提出他将如何反对禁令。”
美最高法院就TikTok禁令再次讨论
Last Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a request from TikTok and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to block a law that would require the sale of the popular video-sharing app by Jan. 19, or face a ban on national security grounds. The nation's top court are set to hear arguments on Jan. 10 regarding whether the law unconstitutionally limits freedom of speech, in breach of the First Amendment.
当地时间12月18日,美国最高法院宣布就禁止TikTok在美国运营的法案再次进行讨论。据报道,美国最高法院将于1月10日就此案进行辩论,允许法院在法律1月19日生效前对该问题作出裁决。
