Commerce Department Banning TikTok, WeChat Transactions

By

/

Transactions on TikTok and WeChat will be banned starting this Sunday. The Trump Administration made the decision to have the Commerce Department ban business transactions because the Chinese-owned apps are a risk to national security. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says the ban aims to combat China’s malicious collection of American citizens’ personal data. President Trump previously threatened to ban TikTok entirely for the same reasons.
