US House passes bill that could ban TikTok, approves aid to Israel, Ukraine, bolster Taiwan

The US House has passed a bill that demands TikTok be banned in the United States unless its Chinese proprietor divests ownership within a year. House Republicans made TikTok part of a larger foreign aid package, a key agenda item for President Joe Biden, garnering broad congressional backing particularly for nations like Ukraine and Israel. This maneuver fast-tracked the banning process after the bill initially stalled in the Senate.
