TikTok Files Last-Minute Petition Against Trump Order
2020-11-11 18:27

TikTok asked a Washington court Tuesday to stop an order from US President Donald Trump's administration from taking effect this week as the White House seeks to ban the Chinese-owned app in the United States.

In its court petition, TikTok asked for more time, saying it has not received enough feedback on its proposed solution.

US President Donald Trump signed a set of orders against the video platform this summer.

Trump has accused the popular video-sharing app of handing over American user data to Beijing - which the company flatly denies.

After negotiations with several US firms, ByteDance and TikTok proposed creating a new company with IT company Oracle as a technology partner and retail giant Walmart as a business partner.
