6:09Now PlayingIn 2020, then-President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order stating that America “must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security.” However, he recently announced that he’s changed his stance about the social media company – shortly after meeting with Jeffrey Yass, a billionaire GOP megadonor who has a $33 billion stake in TikTok.
