00:00U.S. President Donald Trump releases his predecessor Joe Biden's hold order on the supply of 2,000-pound
00:07bombs to Israel.
00:08Biden held the delivery due to concerns over the bomb's impact on Gaza during Israel's
00:12war with Hamas.
00:14Trump and Biden have been supporters of Israel, even as human rights advocates criticized
00:18the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
00:20A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas started last Sunday, January 19.
00:25Meantime, Trump says he has been in talks with several potential buyers of social media
00:29platform TikTok and would likely have a decision in the next 30 days.
00:34Under the deal being negotiated by the White House, TikTok's China-based owner ByteDance
00:38would retain a stake in the company.
00:40But data collection would be overseen by the U.S. company Oracle, which already provides
00:44the foundation of TikTok's web infrastructure.
00:47Trump earlier said he wants the U.S. to have a significant ownership position in TikTok,
00:51amid ongoing debates about the app's ties to China and its implications on user data
00:56security.
