NEW YORK — U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday he planned to issue an executive order to delay restrictions on TikTok after the social media platform went offline for American users.

“I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!” Trump said on Truth Social. “I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security.”
