President Biden will not enforce a ban on TikTok that is set to take effect Sunday, a U.S. official said, leaving its fate to Donald Trump.

Biden signed the law (which targets tech companies owned by companies in countries deemed a “foreign adversary” of the United States) back in April of 2024, and god knows if he realized at the time what setting its enforcement measures to kick in a day before the next inauguration was going to do,

President Joe Biden's administration said it will be up to President-elect Donald Trump to implement the ban on TikTok, which is set to take effect in two days after the Supreme Court upheld the law Friday.

President Joe Biden appears to be backpedaling on the TikTok ban he signed last year. His administration is now saying it won’t enforce the law that will boot the popular platform from app stores, which is scheduled to begin on Sunday, the day before he leaves office.

Congress last year in a law signed by President Joe Biden required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19 or risk getting banned in the U.S.

A ban on the popular app is set to start Sunday, although the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold it.

A bipartisan bill banning TikTok was passed by Congress and signed into law by Biden last year. While Trump previously called for a ban on the app due to its ties to the Chinese government, he has more recently been opposed to the ban and indicated that he will seek to reverse it.

President-elect Donald Trump, who once called to ban TikTok, has since pledged to keep it available in the U.S.
