The White House on Friday said that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a ban on the Chinese-owned TikTok social media platform will ultimately fall under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Earlier Friday, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration in upholding the ban, just three days before Trump is due to be inaugurated as president. It found that a law ordering TikTok to divest from Chinese-owned entities or face a ban does not violate the Constitution’s First Amendment.
