Senate democrats call on Trump to collaborate with Congress on TikTok ban
(MENAFN) A trio of Senate Democrats is pressing President Trump to collaborate with Congress regarding potential actions on the TikTok ban.
Senators Cory Booker, Edward Markey, and Chris Van Hollen have formally sought more information from the President concerning efforts to maintain TikTok's availability in the U.S., particularly with an approaching deadline of April 5th.
They added, “Under the Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, ByteDance had until January 19 to either divest TikTok or face a ban in the U.S. In an executive order, President Trump directed the Department of Justice to not enforce the law for 75 days.”
In a written statement, the three senators noted, "This nonenforcement of the TikTok ban was not only unlawful but also raised serious questions about TikTok’s future, as the law imposes liability—up to $850 billion in fines—on companies for facilitating TikTok’s continued operations in the U.S.."
They further stated, "We have previously introduced legislation — the Extend the TikTok Deadline Act — that would extend the TikTok deadline to October 16, 2025, but Senate Republicans blocked passage of our bill.”
