 submitted an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on Friday asking the high court to pause implementation of a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. on Jan. 19 if the app is not sold by its ******** parent company.

“President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,” writes D. John Sauer, Trump’s lawyer who is also the president-elect’s nominee for U.S. Solicitor General. “Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump’s incoming Administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.”

That law at the heart of the suit is the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a bipartisan measure passed by Congress and subsequently signed into law by President Joe Biden in April.

 to hear the case and fast-tracked the schedule for briefing and oral arguments. However, the court punted on TikTok’s request to pause implementation of the ban, leaving just nine days after oral arguments for them to issue an opinion or indefinitely block the law.  

Trump, in his court filing, suggested he could negotiate a political resolution to the matter before the court needs to rule.
