Lawmakers are advancing legislation to address national security concerns linked to TikTok, aiming to force its sale or ban in the U.S. The bill, included in foreign aid packages, bypasses Senate hurdles.
The House passed it overwhelmingly, giving TikTok 270 days to sever ties with ByteDance.
Failure to comply could result in a ban, highlighting bipartisan efforts to tackle security risks posed by the app.

Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban.
