"The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order."<br>"Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations," Trump said.<br><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/tiktok-shouts-out-trump-app-goes-dark-millions-users-across-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TIKTOK SHOUTS OUT TRUMP AS APP GOES DARK FOR MILLIONS OF USERS ACROSS US</strong></a><br><span>President-elect Donald Trump, Melania Trump and their son Barron board a U.S. Air Force aircraft en route to Dulles, Virginia on Jan.18, 2025 in West Palm Beach.</span><span> (Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images / Getty Images)</span><br>Trump is expected to be sworn in around noon ET Monday at the U.S. Capitol, officially taking office as the 47th president. <br>His Sunday post did not clarify how soon the extension would take effect or specify how long it would last. <br>As for the proposed national security deal, Trump said he would like "the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture." <br>"By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to [stay] up. Without U.S. approval, there is no TikTok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions," Trump wrote. "Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose." <br>TikTok's account on X dedicated to releasing policy updates posted a statement later Sunday saying: "In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service." <br><br>"We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive," the statement said. "It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States." </br></br><br>Apple and Google's app stores <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tiktok-influencers-mourn-platform-break-down-tears-supreme-court-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no longer had the TikTok app available</a> as of 10:50 p.m. EST Saturday.

A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now." <br>"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" the message added. <br>Earlier Sunday, Trump issued a two-word message on TRUTH Social: "SAVE TIKTOK!"<br><span>The U.S. Capitol is shown at sunrise the day before President-elect Donald Trump's 2nd term inauguration Jan. 19, 2025, in Washington, D.C.</span><span> (Joe Raedle/Getty Images / Getty Images)</span><br>Instead of utilizing the nine-month grace period to sell TikTok to an approved buyer, ByteDance, as well as TikTok, sued. <br><br>The law was upheld Friday <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-issues-ruling-looming-tiktok-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by the U.S. Supreme Court</a>, which pointed to national security risks due to the app's connection to China. </br></br><br>Trump previously indicated that he must "review" the ban before choosing a course of action and that he'd "most likely" grant TikTok a 90-day extension from the Jan. 19 deadline. <br>Under the law, the sitting president can extend the deadline by 90 days if a sale is in progress. ByteDance has previously rebuffed the idea of selling TikTok. <br><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/apps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE</u></strong></a><br>In a video posted on Friday, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew praised Trump for his "commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States.
