order<\/span> on Monday directing the Justice Department to not enforce a law that effectively bans TikTok for 75 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It directs the Justice Department not to take action or impose penalties against &#8220;any entity for any noncompliance&#8221; with the law.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The widely popular short-form video app <span class=\"link\">briefly shuttered in the U.S.<\/span> this weekend hours before a bipartisan law that gave TikTok&#8217;s China-based parent company ByteDance until Jan. 19 to divest or be cut off from U.S. app stores and web-hosting services went into effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>TikTok said a sale wasn&#8217;t possible in the nine-month timeframe it was given and challenged the law, but that challenge was <span class=\"link\">rejected<\/span> by a unanimous Supreme Court decision on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump, who sought to ban the app over national security concerns during his first term, vowed to &#8220;save&#8221; TikTok before he was sworn in this time around. On Monday, he said the U.S. &#8220;has bigger problems&#8221; and added that he had a &#8220;warm spot&#8221; for the app.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The order says the Trump administration will review sensitive intelligence related to the national security concerns &#8220;and evaluate the sufficiency of mitigation measures TikTok has taken to date.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have the unique constitutional responsibility for the national security of the United States, the conduct of foreign policy, and other vital executive functions. \u00a0To fulfill those responsibilities, I intend to consult with my advisors, including the heads of relevant departments and agencies on the national security concerns posed by TikTok, and to pursue a resolution that protects national security while saving a platform used by 170 million Americans,&#8221; the order says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      Caitlin Yilek<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at CBSNews.com, based in Washington, D.C.
