Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a new law that would lead to a ban of the social media platform TikTok, clearing the way for the widely popular app to shutter in the U.S. as soon as Sunday.

The Supreme Court said it may announce opinions on Friday, a last-minute addition that comes just two days before a law that would ban TikTok is set to go into effect.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld a law passed in Congress that bans TikTok, which could lead to 3.7 million users in Michigan losing the use of the app as soon as Sunday. The court's decision shifts focus to President-elect Donald Trump, who still can intervene after he is sworn into office on Monday.

The US Supreme Court has refused to rescue TikTok from a law that required the popular short-video app to be sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance or banned on Sunday in the United States on national security grounds – a major blow to a platform used by nearly half of all Americans.

President Donald Trump’s decision on Monday to reprise a ban on transgender Americans serving in the military will reignite a legal fight over the controversial effort that was met with pushback by federal courts – but not definitively settled – during his first term.

The ban will go into effect on Jan. 19 unless TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance sells its U.S. operations to an American entity.

The United States Supreme Court is poised to announce a critical decision on Friday that could determine the future of TikTok in the country. The app, immensely popular among Americans, faces a potential ban due to concerns over national security and data privacy.

The high court doesn't announce which opinions it is releasing. But the justices are up against a Sunday deadline for TikTok to cut ties with China.

Looming over the Supreme Court's TikTok decision is what could happen after Donald Trump takes office. Trump promised to "save" the popular platform.
