The President’s duty is to enforce the law, not cut a deal with China.

President-elect Donald Trump said he had a "very good" call with China's President Xi Jinping on Friday about TikTok

Donald Trump has held his first call with China’s President Xi Jinping since leaving the White House in 2021, with the two leaders discussing the fate of TikTok just before the Supreme Court upheld a law to ban the app in the US.

Chinese products will soon face a 10% tariff coming into the United States in a move that could ramp up conflict between the world’s two largest economies.

President-elect Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have discussed trade, fentanyl and TikTok in a phone call Friday, just days before Trump heads back to the White House.

President-elect Trump spoke Friday with Chinese President Xi Jinping by phone just days before the U.S. presidential inauguration. Why it matters: Trump said last month he exchanged messages with Xi after winning the election but didn't confirm they spoke.

The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld a law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese owner ByteDance or face a U.S. ban. Now the question is whether Donald Trump will enforce this law.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed issues including TikTok, trade and Taiwan in a phone call on Friday, just days before Trump takes office again promising tariffs that could ratchet up tensions between the world's two biggest economies.

TikTok, with 170 million US users, faces a potential ban unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, sells its US operations. President Trump has delayed the ban, considering alternatives like a joint ownership with US investors.

"Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary discussed TikTok's future, particularly the role of a "secret golden share" as his offer for the platform remains on the table.
