The bill would give President Biden the authority to force the sale of foreign-owned technologies, applications, software or e-commerce platforms if they present a national security threat to U.S. users.
The White House endorsed a bipartisan bill that could give the president authority to ban or force a sale of, support that could hasten its passage and break a deadlock over how to handle privacy concerns around the popular Chinese-owned app.
This is the first time the Biden administration has weighed in on legislation to deal with the app, which the White House says poses national security risks. Warner and his co-sponsors have worked closely with the administration for months in the lead-up to the bill’s introduction.A number of countries have banned the use of TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing app, on government devices over cybersecurity concerns.
The bill would still need to go through a Senate committee, and it’s unclear where the measure ranks among Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer’s priorities. The New York Democrat determines whether it would come to the floor for a vote. But anti-China sentiment is strong in Congress and bipartisan.
