President-elect Donald Trump reacted Friday morning after the Supreme Court ruled unanimously to uphold a federal law banning TikTok unless its China-based parent company, ByteDance, sells the app by Sunday.
The justices determined that the app’s ties to China pose significant national security risks, outweighing concerns about free speech for TikTok and its 170 million U.S. users.
“It ultimately goes up to me, so you’re going to see what I’m going to do,” Trump reportedly told CNN’s Pamela Brown in a phone call.
He went on, according to Brown: “Congress has given me the decision, so I’ll be making the decision.”
He did not provide further details on what that decision would be, Brown reported.
