Trump plans to ban TikTok in the US, report says
President Donald Trump said late Friday that he planned to ban TikTok from the US. The action could come as soon as Saturday.
"As far as TikTok is concerned we're banning them from the United States," Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
Banning TikTok could escalate tensions between the US and China. Politicians have raised concerns the Chinese government could use the app to spy on US citizens or spread propaganda during an election year. Two senators have also requested the Department of Justice open an investigation of TikTok, as well as Zoom, which has China connections.
Last month, India banned TikTok and dozens of other Chinese-owned apps
