The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted on Wednesday to give President Joe Biden the power to ban Chinese video app TikTok in the United States.
Last week, the White House gave government agencies 30 days to ensure there is no TikTok on federal machines. More than 30 US states, Canada and political institutions in the European Union have also banned downloading TikTok on their employees’ work phones.
