Trump Urges Stay of S. Ct. Proceedings in TikTok Case, Delay of Statutory Effective Date

President Trump 's friend-of-the-court brief in TikTok divestment case: Introduction and Interest of Amicus Curiae .

Donald J. Trump is the 45th and soon to be the 47th President of the United States of America .

The case presents an unprecedented, novel, and difficult tension between free-speech rights and national security concerns.

President Trump urges the Court to stay the statute's effective date to allow his incoming Administration to pursue a negotiated resolution that could prevent a nationwide shutdown of TikTok .

If successful, such a resolution would obviate the need for this Court to decide the challenging First Amendment question presented here on the current, highly expedited basis.
