day in office. our reporter suranjana tewari is outside the head office of tiktok�*s owner bytedance in singapore. president trump said he will work with a solution to reinstate tick—tock was he takes office. he added please stay tuned. by around noon on sunday, tiktok was back with a p°p�*up sunday, tiktok was back with a pop—up saying as a result of president trump is make efforts, tiktok is back in the us. all of these was a result
2:31 am
of a law that was passed in the us last year that looked to barnett tick—tock unless it sold —— ban tick—tock unless it sold —— ban tick—tock unless it sold its business to chinese owners. the ad is owned by bytedance, a chinese company and is headquartered here in singapore —— the app. there hasn't been any reaction from asia so far that we are waiting to hear about what president trump's plan might be. it is not clear whether he can even reverse that ban. he has said that he has granted tiktok a temporary reprieve or would do so through an executive order and that the us government might even take a stake in tiktok. of course, there is a lot of concerns in the us about tiktok, about bytedance�*s ability, to share information with its chinese owners. tiktok denies that. one of the reasons it is headquartered here is to distance itself from its chinese ownership.

thank you. the uncertainty over the future of tiktok in the us has caused concern for the many content creators and influencers who have built—up huge audiences on the platform. one of them is lauren godwin, who has over 22 million followers on tiktok. she explains how she was impacted by the temporary ban. it has been an emotional 12 hours. i have been on the app since before it was tiktok. i've been on it for over seven years as i have grown over 22 million followers. this is where basically my whole life is. i have grown so many opportunities through it, maintain it —— monetisation things, so to see it go, not only for me but frat a 170 million americans, over 7 million americans, over 7 million businesses on tiktok, it certainly was just, like, very scary for me since this is
2:33 am
my livelihood and everything like that but also just taking away all the memories of all the years and then seeing, you know, going to sleep at night and it was like muscle memory, trying to get back in the app and then seeing this morning having all of my friends that i've made over this app contacting me being like it is back! it feels like christmas basically. so being back on it today was super relieving! amazing, amazing. as you said, $22 million, 222 million followers, huge. add know you can't give me exact financial amounts but can you give me an idea of how much an influencer of those proportions can make? most of my income comes from monetisation which comes through brand partnership. a brand will come in and they will either want me to use maybe an audio of a cutting song or a clothing brand or anything like that, it can really range from anywhere from - i really range from anywhere from — i have seen videos of
2:34 am
influences being paid 50,000 100,000 for a video so it reallyjust depends on all of the in between is of long your video is or if you want to do a long—term partnership with them which is what i've been currently doing. so taking away the app while i am currently posting these things while having brand partnerships and all disappearing in one second was, you know, quite startling. i can imagine, very destabilising. are you still nervous? iamon i am on other platforms, i really will focus on my presence on there as well and putting my content on there as well so other people can find me because that being my main platform, it definitely takes a chunk of followers away so i am going to focus on those and i know a lot of people are
2:35 am
focusing on other apps like rednote, people are saying it is the next tiktok basically but i don't see it being the same as tiktok, tiktok feels very irreplaceable to me, i don't know how powerful it is, but i basically will keep posting on the app and doing what i do best, making content, and going to other apps as well and going to other apps as well and trying to gain some traction on there. lauren godwin- _ donald trump has promised a strong — america first and tariff led protectionist trade policy with low taxes and lower government spending. so who are the people that will shape what some are calling �*trumponomics 2.0'? the team is dominated by businessmen, including several billionaires. how will they work together? and how will they reshape the american economy? from new york, our north america business correspondent michelle fleury has this report. so, the next trump administration is here. what will the president and the many members formal and informal of his government get up to this time? everyone wants to know.
