Senator Blumenthal: Trump Must Enforce TikTok Divestiture Law for 170 Million Users by Early Next Year
Nov 19, 2024, 08:22 PM
During a recent Senate hearing, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal emphasized that President-elect Donald Trump must adhere to a law mandating the divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. This law requires the short video app, which has approximately 170 million users in the United States, to be sold by early next year. The chair of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee reiterated that Trump cannot disregard this legal requirement. The context of this discussion highlights ongoing legislative efforts, supported by Congress and President Joe Biden, to prohibit TikTok from operating under Chinese ownership, a plan that could be complicated by Trump's reelection.
