President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he most likely would giveTikTok90 more days to work out a deal that would allow the popular video-sharing platform to avoida U.S. ban.

Trump said in an NBC News interview that he had not decided what to do but was considering granting TikToka reprieveafter he is sworn into office on Monday. A law that prohibits mobile app stores and internet hosting services from distributing TikTok to U.S. users takes effecton Sunday.

Under the law passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden last year, TikToks China-based parent company had nine months to sell the platforms U.S. operation to anapproved buyer. The law allows the sitting president to grant an extension if a sale is in progress. I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because its appropriate. You know, its appropriate, Trump told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview. We have to look at it carefully. Its a very big situation.

If I decide to do that, Ill probably announce it on Monday, he said.

Both White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco made clear Friday that the Biden administration would leave the laws implementation to Trump given that his inauguration falls the day after the ban takes effect.

In a statement later Friday, TikTok asked for a definitive statement saying the Biden administration would not enforce the law or try to fine app store operators like Apple and Google and other U.S. companies if they dont stop making TikTok available Sunday.

Without those assurances, TikTok said it will be forced to go dark. But the company did not provide details, including whether it would voluntarily shut down its U.S. platform at midnight or suspend its operations after losing access to service providers it relies on.

The White House on Saturday called TikToks statement a stunt.

We see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump administration takes office on Monday, Jean-Pierre said. We have laid out our position clearly and straightforwardly: actions to implement this law will fall to the next administration. So TikTok and other companies should take up any concerns with them.

Neither Apple, Google or Oracle, which hosts TikToks data on its servers, have responded to questions about what theyplan to doon Sunday.
