Former US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he opposes banning the TikTok application in the United States. Trump's statement shows a change in his positions, after his administration issued a decision in 2020 to ban "Tik Tok" in the U.S., citing its threat to national security.
On Thursday, a committee in the US House of Representatives voted with all 50 members in favor of a draft law that would force ByteDance, which owns TikTok, to sell its subsidiary. Members of the US Congress are concerned about the links between TikTok and the Chinese authorities.
