USSC Research Associate Tom Barrett is quoted by ABC News about the future of popular social media platform TikTok.
President Donald Trump promised to issue an executive order on the day of his inauguration, to extend the deadline for the sale of TikTok, "so that we can make a deal to protect our national security".
But questions remain about how legally effective that would be, as the current law has already been given the Constitutional green light by the Supreme Court, and can only be repealed by an act of Congress.
