A federal district judge blocked a key part of U.S. President Donald Trump's TikTok ban from going into effect Sunday night, even as its Chinese parent ByteDance has yet to form a plan for the popular video app that would satisfy either Washington or Beijing.
Following a 90-minute hearing Sunday morning, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols rejected part of the U.S. Justice Department's argument that barring Trump's order would "infringe on the president's authority to block business-to-business economic transactions with a foreign entity in the midst of a declared national-security emergency."
