Trump to meet with TikTok CEO at Mar-a-Lago as he mulls nixing ban: report

President-elect Donald Trump was expected to meet with TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago on Monday as the social media company faces a potential ban starting Jan. 19.

CNN host Kaitlan Collins reported that Chew's meeting would come hours after Trump said he would consider saving TikTok when he takes office on Jan. 20.

"We'll take a look at TikTok," Trump said at a news conference. "You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok."

The president-elect suggested TikTok's reach with young voters could have helped him win the 2024 election.

In a request Monday, TikTok asked the Supreme Court to block a law requiring its Chinese owner to sell the company to continue operating in the U.S.

"The Act will shutter one of America's most popular speech platforms the day before a presidential inauguration," TikTok's lawyers said in the filing. "This, in turn, will silence the speech of Applicants and the many Americans who use the platform to communicate about politics, commerce, arts, and other matters of public concern."

Former Solicitor General Noel Francisco, a staunch defender of Trump, represented the company.
