TikTok prepares to shut down app in US on Sunday, sources say
By Reuters TikTok plans to shut its app for U.S. users on Sunday, when a federal ban on the social media app used by 170 million Americans is set to take effect, barring a last-minute reprieve, people familiar with the matter said.

Biden bids farewell from Oval Office as Trump looms over his legacy
By Reuters President Joe Biden will cap his half-century political career on Wednesday with a final Oval Office speech, hoping to seal a legacy that has been overshadowed by Democrats’ failure to stop Donald Trump from returning to the White House.
