What could Mr. Trump do about it?
Mr. Trump has not been clear about how, exactly, he might ban TikTok and what a "ban" really means. On Friday, he said aboard Air Force One that he "can do it with an executive order."
The Trump administration has other options to restrict TikTok's reach. It could try using a law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to block some foreign products from American app stores. Or it could put TikTok's owner on a list that prohibits American firms from selling goods to it without a license.
Because TikTok emerged out of ByteDance's 2017 acquisition of a lip-syncing app called Musical.ly, the administration could also effectively order the Chinese firm to spin off TikTok. ByteDance could also agree to sell TikTok voluntarily to avoid being ordered to do so.
This has happened before. Last year, a Chinese company that had bought the gay dating app Grindr agreed to sell it under pressure from the Trump administration.
