Legislation that could lead to the banning of TikTok in the United States has received a significant boost as House Republican leaders have included it in a package of bills aimed at providing aid to Ukraine and Israel. The bill, which has already passed the House and enjoys broad support in both chambers, could become law as early as next week if Congress acts swiftly.
The proposed legislation requires the China-based owner of TikTok, ByteDance Ltd., to sell its stake in the app for it to continue operating in the U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed his willingness to sign the bill into law once it reaches his desk.
