In the first term of Trump in 2021, US efforts to ban Tickets began. Trump a few months before he left the office Thread to ban the tikatok And another Chinese app WechabatThe Biden administration By withdrawing Trump’s executive order However, the subject continues to verify the tikatok. The US Congress has finally passed April 2021 to the anti -foreign -controlled application (PAFACA) Act that defended Americans.
