Under the proposal, the app would store the data of its U.S.
The administration could also revisit a deal it had been negotiating with TikTok for years that would allow it to keep operating in the United States. Trump tried to ban the app, federal courts ruled he didn’t have the power to do so, limiting the options available to President Biden. But that might be impossible without legislation from Congress giving the administration more power. The White House could try to ban the app inside the United States, possibly by cutting off its access to Apple’s and Google’s app stores. If the White House can’t force a sale, that would effectively leave it with two options to resolve concerns that TikTok could expose Americans’ data to Beijing or act as a conduit for misinformation. But that plan hit a new roadblock on Thursday when the Chinese government said it would oppose a sale.
The Biden administration recently told TikTok it wanted the app’s Chinese owners to sell their stakes or face a possible ban in the United States.
