Asia Tech Wire (Aug 20) -- U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke about TikTok again in an interview with Reuters on Monday.

Trump said that TikTok has treated him very well, making it difficult to block such a platform.

The former U.S. president has previously said that he would prevent TikTok from being blocked, even though President Joe Biden had signed a law in April that forced TikTok to divest from Chinese tech company ByteDance.

"It's very hard to ban something like that, because you're talking about free speech," Trump said.

He added, "You're talking about a lot of different things go into that equation, but TikTok has treated me very well."
