TikTok was unavailable for US-based users late Saturday after the company failed to thwart a nationwide shutdown required under a new national security law that takes effect Sunday. President-elect Donald Trump said he would “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from the law, providing Chinese-owned parent company Bytedance Ltd. more time to find a buyer. Trump also said he’d probably announce it on Monday, after being sworn in.
