As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, President Joe Biden’s lame duck administration is racing to Trump-proof its green jobs program.
Some U.S. lawmakers are advocating for an extension on the deadline for TikTok's Beijing parent company to sell U.S. assets before a ban takes effect.
The Biden administration doesn't plan to take action that forces TikTok to immediately go dark for U.S. users on Sunday, an administration official told ABC News.
President Joe Biden appears to be backpedaling on the TikTok ban he signed last year. His administration is now saying it won’t enforce the law that will boot the popular platform from app stores, which is scheduled to begin on Sunday, the day before he leaves office.
TikTok denied a report that China is mulling over an offer from Elon Musk to buy the app ahead of a Jan. 19 deadline in the U.S., BBC News reports.

There are only a couple of days left until the deadline set by the “anti-TikTok bill” signed by Joe Biden last year is met. If ByteDance does not sell its US stake before January 19, it will not be able to continue operating in the country.
TikTok could still proactively choose to shut itself down that day -- a move intended to send a clear message to the 170 million people it says use the app each month about the wide-ranging impact of the ban.
President-elect Trump considers reprieve for video-sharing app as law prohibiting its distribution takes effect Sunday.
U.S. Supreme Court justices ruled prohibiting TikTok, the Chinese-owned app, is necessary to address security risks. TikTok looks to President-elect Trump for last-minute reprieve.
