White House Urges Swift TikTok Sale Amid Lawmakers' Ban Efforts

The White House is urging the Senate to swiftly advance a bill that would force Chinese tech company ByteDance to sell TikTok, citing concerns about data security and the Chinese Communist Party's potential use of user information. Despite overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, the Senate is slow-walking the bill due to other legislative priorities, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer not committing to a vote timeline. The bill has also sparked debate, with some senators offering tentative support and former President Trump voicing opposition to a potential TikTok ban.
