In a recent phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Trump reaffirmed his decision to ban TikTok in the United States, citing national security concerns. Despite the delay in the acquisition deal, Trump remains firm in his stance that the popular video-sharing app poses a threat to the country.

The ban, which was outlined in an executive order, has faced several roadblocks, including legal challenges and the complexity of TikTok's ownership structure. However, Trump has insisted that the app must be banned unless it is acquired by a US company.

While negotiations for the acquisition of TikTok's US operations are ongoing, Trump has stated that he will not back down from his decision. The President's insistence on the ban has caused tension between the US and China, with Xi Jinping expressing concern over the potential impact on international relations.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding TikTok's future in the US, Trump remains resolute in his effort to protect national security interests and address what he perceives as a threat from the popular social media platform.
