"Today's actions prove once again that President Trump will do everything in his power to guarantee our national security and protect Americans from the threats of the Chinese Communist Party," US Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a press release. US President Donald Trump, citing security concerns regarding users' data, had issued an executive order in August that would ban TikTok in the United States from the middle of this month unless it was sold to a US company. The same restrictions go into effect for TikTok on November 12. Offering internet hosting, content delivery networks, internet transit or peering service to WeChat, or using the app's code in other software or services will be prohibited as of Sunday. ![]() Watch the latest news on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus > ![]()
