JAKARTA - The White House, under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, officially joins TikTok. The US government agency has uploaded its first video on Tuesday, August 19.

Launching from TechCrunch, the White House account released a video to celebrate Trump's achievements during his tenure. This shows that the White House is trying to use TikTok as a means of political communication.

The creation of an account called WhiteHouse also shows that the Trump administration strongly supports the video's vertical platform. This is inversely proportional to Joe Biden's tenure which strongly opposes the presence of the platform.

Before leaving office, Biden signed a law forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok. If the rules are not complied with, TikTok will face a ban on operating in the US.

Fortunately, Trump managed to delay the ban several times. Despite being postponed since last January, TikTok has not reached a good agreement to date. The deadline for the platform is September 17.

Trump's relationship with TikTok has also changed a lot. He hated the platform while serving as president before Biden. In fact, he was the first president to voice the blockage of the platform.

Trump's attitude towards TikTok has changed since last year's campaign period. Trump's campaign team realized how many of its supporters were active on the platform. This made its stance on TikTok soft.
