The battle over TikTok's potential ban in the U.S. may test the limits of presidential authority, particularly as Donald Trump’s previous efforts to outlaw the app faced legal challenges. While Trump attempted to block TikTok in 2020 citing national security concerns, courts rejected his orders.

Some media links his position to financial interests, such as the involvement of financier Jeff Yass, with stakes in TikTok
