Pompeo also added that the American side wants "untrustworthy Chinese apps to be removed from US app stores."
He noted that, in particular, TikTok and WeChat applications are a "significant threat" to citizens' private information.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin commented on Trump's demand.
