US President-elect Donald Trump's incoming national security adviser has said Trump will find a way to save TikTok before a ban on the app is due to take effect this weekend.
Congressman Mike Waltz, a Florida Republican, said Trump would intervene if the Supreme Court upholds a law that bans the platform in the US unless it is sold by January 19.
Chinese owner ByteDance has said it plans to shut off the app for its 170 million US users by Sunday.
"We will put measures in place to keep TikTok from going dark," said Waltz on Thursday.
He noted that the law allows a 90-day extension for ByteDance if significant progress has been made towards a sale.
