Donald Trump doesn't want to ban TikTok right away. He wants the Supreme Court to wait a bit. Trump hopes he can make a deal to keep TikTok in the U.S. after he becomes president again.
Trump thinks he's good at making deals. He believes he can find a way to make the government happy about TikTok's safety. Trump has already hinted that he might let TikTok stay.
The current president, Joe Biden, signed a law a few months ago. It says the company that owns TikTok only has about 9 months to sell it. If they don't, Apple and Google will have to remove TikTok from their app stores.
Biden and the government claim they're worried TikTok is dangerous. But many people think those fears aren't fair or true. TikTok even sued the government to try to stop the ban.
Recently, a court in D.C. ruled against TikTok. The court said the ban is allowed. TikTok asked the Supreme Court to pause the law for a while.
TikTok says the ban would shut down a very popular app. Many Americans use TikTok to talk about important things. The ban would keep them from doing that.
The Supreme Court has agreed to think about whether to stop the ban for now. Trump hopes they delay it. He wants a chance to make a deal after he's president again.
