TikTok's U.S. future in limbo
The Biden Administration warned TikTok — one of the most popular apps in the country — could face a ban if it doesn't sell its U.S. stake. Banning it would have an immediate impact on millions of everyday Americans, and would mark a significant escalation of tensions between China and the U.S.
