Senators have indicated they will take their time to decide on the bill that would force China-based ByteDance to divest from the app
US senators want the chamber to take its time in deciding whether to back a House of Representatives bill that would force China-based ByteDance to divest from the short video app TikTok within six months or face a total ban.
The House voted 352-65 on Wednesday, just eight days after the proposal was introduced. There is broad support in the Senate for taking action to address national security threats from foreign apps like TikTok but no agreement on the right approach.
