Senators Tom Cotton and Pete Ricketts said "there's no legal basis" for an extension to keep the social media platform online.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has promised sweeping actions in his second administration. The president-elect has outlined a wide-ranging agenda that blends traditional conservative approaches to taxes, regulation and cultural issues with a more populist bent on trade and a shift in America's international role.

The president-elect Sunday pledged an executive order, hours into his second term, returning access for American users, at least temporarily.

"We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States," the Chinese-owned app said.

Returning President Donald Trump, ahead of his second term in office, said Sunday that TikTok users "deserve to see" his "exciting inauguration" as he promised an extension that would keep the app from staying dark.

Hours before a deadline that would require TikTok to be divested or shut down, the incoming White House administration offered a lifeline to the widely used video-sharing app — in contrast to last-minute criticism from the outgoing Biden administration.
