Tiktok was originally prohibited due to the protection of Americans from the law on controlled applications of foreign opponents, which was signed in accordance with the Biden administration, although it was caused by the desire of President Trump to ban the application. Nevertheless, he changed his melody when he discovered that his supporters used the platform, so he signed an executive order immediately after the oath, which would delay the ban in the hope that the transaction would be concluded.
moved forward for 75 days, then 75 days again, and the ban was postponed three times, since the transaction was not concluded. At that time, Apple restored Tiktok in App Store not because it was legal, but because the prosecutor general said that the Ministry of Justice would not apply the law.
Today we can now read what we said in letters.
The Law on Freedom of Information made by Anthony Tan from Muckrock News revealed letters sent by the General Prosecutor Bondi, and was divided by the professor of law Alan Rosenstein in Bluesk. Read the full releases of Foia through the Document Cloud cloud link, separated by Rozenshtein.
The key part reads:
The Ministry of Justice also irrevocably abandons any statements that could be undertaken in relation to Apple Inc. For the behavior planned in the act during the covered period and the expanded covered period, in accordance with Tiktok, and the large family, the period and the expanded periods, in accordance with Tiktok, and the expanded period, in accordance with Tiktok, and the expanded period, in accordance with Tiktok, and the dilated period, in accordance Tiktok, and an expanded period, in accordance with Tiktok, and an expanded period. Tiktok, Inc. Applications covered by law. This comes from the plenary power of the Prosecutor General in relation to all trials, civil and criminal, and which the United States, his agencies or departments are parties, as well as the powers of the prosecutor General to recover, limiting the future of the discretion of the executive branch.
mainly President Trump stated at the executive disposal that the law adopted by Congress prevents his ability to regulate foreign affairs established by Article II of the Constitution, therefore he is able to suspend the compliance with the law with which the Prosecutor General agreed. Thus, Tiktok was prohibited, in some way it interferes with foreign policy.
, regardless of the reason for the suspension of the ban was repeated by the Trump administration regularly & mdash; The pause and numerous extensions are intended to calm voters, while the transaction is the purchase of part of the Tiktok.

The so-called “Tiktok America” will be divided with the owner of the company so that Tiktok corresponds to the law and avoid the prohibition. It will belong to new American investors, 30% of existing investors and 19.9% by bytends.
Despite this plan that American investors would put forward, and the pockets of Donald Trump's friends, China does not seem to bite. The situation was also complicated by meaningless global tariffs in the conclusion of transactions, which have so far become worse for American consumers.
Repeated insults for China, as the Vice President of JD Vance, who calls the workers “peasants”, tariff tariffs and other aggression, delayed on the part of the United States, delay in law enforcement agencies number three-the longest, but at 90 days, and it seems that we are no closer to Tiktok America.
Apple is safe from being aimed at trials and fines from the Ministry of Justice over Tiktok, but it still deals with the consequences of other politicians created by the administration. The income call on July 31 will show how much financial damage was caused in the third quarter as a result of tariffs.
