[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] A U.S. federal court has put a halt to the Trump administration's executive order requesting a ban on downloading the Chinese video-sharing social networking service TikTok.


According to Bloomberg News on the 27th (local time), the U.S. court temporarily suspended the effect of the Trump administration's 'TikTok download ban' executive order.



Previously, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transactions involving TikTok within the United States. Accordingly, the Department of Commerce requested Google and Apple not to offer WeChat from the 20th of this month and TikTok from the 27th on U.S. app stores. In response, TikTok's parent company ByteDance filed a preliminary injunction lawsuit against the executive order in U.S. court on the 23rd.
