"TikTok Legislation Gains Momentum in US Congress Amid Diplomatic Talks and Aid Bundling"
The House has bundled a new measure to force the sale of TikTok with foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, in an effort to push the Senate to pass the legislation. The modified bill would still require TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the app due to national security concerns, with an extended deadline of up to nine months. Lawmakers are expected to vote on the package, including the TikTok ban, and if passed, it will be sent to the Senate for consideration. President Biden has expressed willingness to sign TikTok legislation into law if it reaches his desk, marking the most aggressive move yet to address national security concerns related to the popular social media app.
