‘We’re checking with the administration – just in terms of language – not in terms of being opposed to the idea,’ the U.S. House Speaker said on Thursday
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday she had yet to decide whether the U.S. House of Representatives will join the Senate in backing legislation to bar federal government employees from using Chinese-owned TikTok on government-owned devices.
The House would need to pass the Senate bill before next week’s expected end of the congressional session. It would then go to President Joe Biden, who could sign it into law. The U.S. government Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States , a powerful national security body, has for months sought to reach a national security agreement to protect the data of TikTok’s more than 100 million users, but it appears no deal will be reached before year’s end.
Many federal agencies, including the Defense, Homeland Security and State departments, already ban TikTok from government-owned devices.
