Congress is barreling toward approving a bill that could force the sale or result in a ban of the widely popular video-sharing app.
Washington — Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the possible sale of TikTok after congressional action is 'complicated,' noting that giving any type of transaction up to a full year 'makes sense.'The video-sharing app owned by a China-based company has been under fire by U.S. officials for years amid warnings that China's government could gain access to its data and use it to manipulate or spy on Americans.
The comments came after the House on Saturday approved a bill as part of a foreign aid package that is now headed to the Senate that could force the sale or result in a ban of TikTok in the U.S. Lawmakers voted 360 to 58 in favor of the measure, which also addressed other foreign policy priorities.
