Trump Reiterates Potential Plans to Ban TikTok, Says Looking at Alternative Options

WASHINGTON, Jul 31 (Sputnik) US President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated that his administration is considering plans to ban the social media application TikTok, but he added that they are also considering alternative options.
"We're looking at TikTok, we may be banning TikTok, we may be doing some other things, there are a couple of options but a lot of things are happening so we'll see what happens," Trump said. "We are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok."
In early July, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the administration was considering a ban on access to TikTok over privacy concerns. The social media company claims user data is safe and not shared with Chinese authorities. Meanwhile, Beijing has called on Washington to stop using government mechanisms to pressure Chinese companies.
