White House chief of staff Mark Meadows says other Chinese app could be banned as well. President Donald Trump’s administration is looking into banning more Chinese apps that could pose a national security threat, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said late Thursday. The remarks echo those Meadows recently made, including last month when he said the administration was looking at banning apps “that might collect personal information and have potential national security risk,” Reuters reported. However, the amended export list appears to slow down the TikTok sale. India banned 118 Chinese-linked apps this week, citing national security concerns.
