TikTok petitioned the US Supreme Court on Monday to halt a law mandating its Chinese parent, ByteDance, to divest or close the app by January 19. This appeal coincided with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew’s meeting with President-elect Trump, who expressed interest in reviewing the app despite the law signed by President Biden.
