The Biden administration urged both Democrats and Republicans Tuesday to quickly pass newly introduced legislation that would give the president the power to shut down TikTok over possible national security concerns.
The strong signal from the White House comes as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle introduced a bill in the Senate Tuesday that could squash the Chinese-owned social media app in the US, where it is currently used by more than 100 million Americans, many of them younger than 30.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the proposal would buff up the country’s ability to fight off risks from other countries.
“We look forward to continue working with both Democrats and Republicans on this bill, and urge Congress to act quickly to send it to the President’s desk,” he said in a statement.
