Shanghai Securities News: Trump's Remote Call to Save TikTok Is Not Optimistic, According to Legal Experts

Jinshi Data News on December 28th, for Trump’s remote call to save TikTok, legal professionals close to the case expressed pessimism. ‘Trump is just applying for an extension, which is equivalent to an expert opinion and has no effect on the court.’ The person said that this move means that Trump actually wants to take the right to resolve the TikTok case during his tenure, ‘he wants to negotiate and ask for a higher price.’ ‘Trump has not started a new term yet, he is only applying for an extension, and it cannot have a substantial impact on the court’s judgment.’ Zhang Xin, a professor at the Law School of the University of International Business and Economics, said that this move is more like hoping to leave the decision-making power of the TikTok case during his tenure. ‘This is likely to be a negotiation strategy aimed at gaining greater bargaining chips.’ It is worth noting that Trump this time submitted his opinions to the Supreme Court of the United States through ‘friends of the court’. The so-called ‘friends of the court’ refers to individuals or organizations other than the parties involved in the US litigation case who believe that their personal or collective interests will be affected by a certain case or legal ruling, and submit different information supplements or arguments to the court.
