Everything You Need to Know About Trump’s InaugurationPresident-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the country’s 47th president on Jan. 20 in an event that will include welcoming ceremonies from business and global leaders, and feature extravagant celebrations from well-known performers.

TikTok Restarts After Trump Offers LifelinePresident-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that he is asking tech companies to keep social media platform TikTok online and would sign an executive order postponing the federal ban on the social media website in the United States.

Two senators on Sunday dispelled the idea that TikTok could be brought back early after President-elect Donald Trump signaled he would issue an executive order to keep it online, with one warning that U.S. companies that do business with the Chinese-owned app could face “ruinous liability.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said that he plans to uphold the divest-or-ban law on TikTok. Reflecting on Trump’s push for a 90-day delay, Johnson said: “No, I think we will enforce the law.”
