DONALD Trump has downplayed fears that China is using TikTok to spy on Americans – just days after signing an executive order that delayed a ban on the social media app.

The president sat down with Fox News titan Sean Hannity and said the app is for children who watch crazy videos.

Trump’s remarks come only days after the Supreme Court upheld a law that would see the app banned across America.

The app went dark on Sunday before being gradually restored.

And Trump signed an executive order that delays the looming ban.

He wants an American company to hold a 50% share in the social media giant.

Trump was pressed by Hannity on the links the app has with the Chinese Communist Party.

“I know. But you can say that about everything made in China,” Trump said.

“Look we have our telephones made in China for the most part.

“We have so many things made in China.

“So why don’t they mention that.

“The interesting thing with Tiktok, though, is you’re dealing with a lot of young people.

“So is it that important for China to be spying on young people, on young kids watching crazy videos?”

Trump used TikTok often during his successful 2024 campaign and it helped him boost his support among younger voters.
