WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The White House said
Tuesday it backs a bill in Congress to give the Biden
administration new powers to ban Chinese-owned video app TikTok
and other foreign technologies that could pose security threats.
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
said the bipartisan bill sponsored by a dozen senators "would
strengthen our ability to address discrete risks posed by
individual transactions, and systemic risks posed by certain
classes of transactions involving countries of concern in
sensitive technology sectors."
"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.
