The White House launched an official TikTok account, @whitehouse, on Tuesday to share President Donald Trump’s messages with the app’s 170m US users. The debut video showed Trump declaring, “I am your voice”, Reuters reported.
Trump, who credits TikTok with boosting his support among young voters in 2024, also posts on Truth Social and X.
Lawmakers worry US user data could be accessed by China. Trump is negotiating a US buyout of TikTok’s parent, ByteDance. A 2024 law required TikTok to divest or halt US operations, but Trump has repeatedly extended the deadline, sparking criticism over national security risks, according to Reuters.
