Trump's inauguration is imminent: plan to overturn multiple Biden executive orders, TikTok ban sees a turning point

Recently, a major change has taken place on the political stage in the United States, with Republican Donald Trump officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. In the tense atmosphere before his inauguration, Trump made a series of important statements, including his plan to overturn multiple executive orders from former President Biden's administration within "a few hours" of his inauguration, as well as issuing an executive order aimed at delaying the effective date of the ban on the short video social media platform TikTok. This series of actions not only attracted widespread attention both domestically and internationally, but also foreshadowed a profound change in the direction of US policy.

At the First Capital Gymnasium in Washington, Trump was sworn in at the inauguration ceremony. This moment marks a new starting point in the US political cycle and also indicates that the Trump administration will begin implementing a series of new policies and measures. In his inauguration speech, Trump emphasized America's sovereignty, freedom, and prosperity, vowing to lead the country towards a more brilliant future.

On the eve of his inauguration, Trump stated that he would act quickly after taking the oath of office to overturn multiple executive orders from the Biden administration. These administrative orders cover multiple areas such as environmental protection, climate policy, immigration policy, and healthcare. Trump believes that these policies of the Biden administration pose a threat to the US economy and national security, and therefore must be revoked.

Trump's plan has sparked widespread controversy. Supporters believe that Trump is safeguarding the national interests of the United States, promoting economic recovery, and ensuring national security. Opponents are concerned that Trump's policy changes may damage the environment, exacerbate social inequality, and damage the international image of the United States.

Among the numerous executive orders that Trump plans to overturn, the ban on TikTok is undoubtedly the most highly anticipated. During his campaign, Trump repeatedly stated his intention to ban TikTok from operating in the United States, citing issues with data security and privacy protection on the platform. However, on the eve of his inauguration, Trump suddenly announced that he would issue an executive order to postpone the effective date of the TikTok ban.

Trump's decision allowed TikTok to resume its services in the United States before the ban officially came into effect. On January 19th local time, TikTok's official website quickly resumed normal access after a brief display of "currently unavailable". TikTok said that it has reached an agreement with Internet service providers and is restoring relevant services. At the same time, TikTok also thanked the Trump government for making necessary clarifications and guarantees to their Internet service providers so that they would not be punished for assisting in maintaining the normal operation of TikTok.

TikTok's experience in the United States has been full of twists and turns. Since 2020, the platform has been controversial due to issues of data security and privacy protection. During his term of office, the Biden government passed a bill requiring TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell TikTok to non Chinese enterprises within 270 days, otherwise the application will be disabled in the United States. This decision has aroused widespread concern and heated discussion. The ByteDance side firmly opposed this and made it clear that it would not sell TikTok business.

Faced with this deadlock, TikTok has taken proactive action. They demanded that the US Supreme Court temporarily freeze the US government's forced sale order against the platform, emphasizing that this law not only violates TikTok's constitutional rights, but also infringes on the rights of 170 million American users. Meanwhile, TikTok also pointed out that if the forced sale order is enforced, it will cause huge economic losses to small businesses and creators on the platform.

The Trump administration's decision has brought a turning point for TikTok. However, this does not mean that TikTok has completely overcome its difficulties. In the future, TikTok will still face strict scrutiny and supervision from the US government and regulatory agencies to ensure that its data security and privacy protection comply with US legal requirements.

Trump's plan to overturn multiple executive orders of the Biden administration will undoubtedly have a profound impact on American politics, economy, and society. These policy changes may trigger a series of chain reactions, including accelerated economic recovery, increased social inequality, regression in environmental protection, and tension in international relations. At the same time, the policy changes of the Trump administration also face many challenges. On the one hand, he needs to overcome resistance from the Democratic Party and other opponents to promote the smooth implementation of policy changes. On the other hand, he also needs to deal with various complex factors at home and abroad to ensure that policy changes can achieve the expected results.

The postponement of TikTok's ban has attracted widespread attention. In the future, it is worth paying close attention to how the Trump administration will implement these policy changes and how these changes will affect American politics, economy, and society. In this era full of variables, we need to maintain a rational and objective attitude, and face future challenges and opportunities with a more open and inclusive mindset.
