Trump meets with TikTok boss – level 1
20-12-2024 15:00
The US may ban TikTok on January 19th. The app is asking the top court to stop the ban.
In the past, President-elect Trump says that TikTok is not safe. But now he seems to like it. Trump meets TikTok’s CEO to talk about it. TikTok’s owner must sell the app or face the ban. Many people use TikTok to have fun, for work, or to share videos.
For every month of a ban, TikTok will lose 1 billion dollars. Trump says that TikTok helps him in the last election. So he may stop the ban. But TikTok does not have much time to change things.
Difficult words: president-elect (a person who wins an election but is not in office yet), CEO (the boss of a company), owner (a person or company that has something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What are the potential consequences for TikTok if the ban is implemented and how did President Trump's view on the app change over time?
