US President Donald Trump has called on companies to ensure TikTok remains operational as the platform works to restore its services in the United States. The appeal, made via Trump’s Truth Social platform on Sunday morning, comes in the wake of TikTok’s official statement acknowledging progress in resolving its service disruptions.
“I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!” Trump posted, emphasizing the need for uninterrupted access to the app for over 170 million Americans who rely on it for content creation, communication, and small business growth.
TikTok’s official statement expressed gratitude to Trump for his role in securing assurances from service providers. The company highlighted that providers would not face penalties for continuing to support TikTok. The platform also reaffirmed its commitment to the First Amendment and opposition to arbitrary censorship.
TikTok, which plays a vital role in empowering over 7 million small businesses, confirmed that efforts are underway to restore full functionality to its user base. The company pledged to collaborate with Trump on a long-term solution to maintain its presence in the U.S.
This development follows previous controversies surrounding TikTok’s data privacy and national security concerns, which had prompted calls for restrictions during Trump’s presidency. However, the president’s recent actions signal a shift in priorities, with a focus on sustaining the platform’s economic and creative contributions.
As TikTok works toward resuming normal operations, its users and content creators are optimistic about the app’s future in the United States. Meanwhile, Trump’s statement has sparked conversations about the balance between digital innovation, free speech, and national security.
