In a post on Truth Social, Trump also laid out what he thinks a “qualified divestiture” of TikTok by ByteDance could look like.
Some users saw the social media app come back online on Sunday, following a shutdown when a federal law went into effect requiring a sale or ban.
The federal ban on TikTok took effect Sunday, but President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he will probably reinstate the app when he returns to office a day later—though he may have limited options to stave off a ban, and any attempts to stop it could be challenged in court.

Trump announced the decision in a post on his Truth Social account on Sunday as millions of TikTok users in the U.S. awoke to discover they could no longer access the TikTok app or platform.
The president-elect unveiled plans for a Day One executive order to save TikTok from a ban, which is immediately raising a host of legal questions.
A pop-up on the app says, "We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office."
TikTok has confirmed it is "restoring service" after Donald Trump confirmed he will enact an executive order to extend the app's ban deadline.
The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.
"We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States," the Chinese-owned app said.
The president-elect said he will make the executive order when he takes office on Monday, potentially allowing the app to resume US operations.
One day before his inauguration, president-elect Donald Trump pledged to issue a day one executive order intended to save TikTok, despite being a main proponent of a ban during his first term. Posting to Truth Social on Jan.
