TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew was also in attendance on Monday. The company’s app stopped working for U.S. users late on Saturday before a law shutting it down on national security grounds took effect on Sunday. However, it began restoring its services on Sunday after Trump said he would revive the app’s access in the U.S. when he returns to power on Monday.
