Washington: US President Donald Trump is looking all the possibility to ban Chinese-owned companies, including e-commerce giant Alibaba in the United States, Fox News reported.
The development came after Trump issued an executive order on August 14, requiring ByteDance to divest its interests in video-sharing app TikTok’s operations in the US within 90 days.
“There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance…might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States,” the US President said in the order.
Earlier, Trump had signed an executive order with ByteDance demanding it to destroy all its copies of TikTok data attached to American users.
