“说到Tik Tok,我们正要禁止它们在美国(运营)。”特朗普称这一行动是“遣散”。
“As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said, calling the action a “severance.”
“我有这个权力,我可以通过行政命令或其他方式来做到这一点。”特朗普表示。
“Well, I have that authority. I can do it with an executive order or that,” Trump said.
目前尚不清楚具体的命令是什么以及可能面临的法律挑战。
据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,知情人士称,周五早些时候,在特朗普政府内部负责此事的人士预计,总统将签署一项命令,迫使中国公司字节跳动出售Tik Tok在美国的业务。
Earlier on Friday, people working on the issue within the Trump administration expected the President to sign an order to force ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns the social media platform, to sell the US operations of TikTok, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Tik Tok此前被美国多个政府部门指控,称其涉嫌威胁美国国家安全。早在7月8日,中国外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会时曾就此表示,美方个别政客的言论完全是无中生有,恶意抹黑。

在今年新冠疫情期间,Tik Tok在国际上人气飙升。研究公司Sensor Tower的数据显示,今年一季度,Tik Tok的下载量约为3.15亿次,创下了单季度应用下载量最高纪录,使其全球总下载量超过了22亿次。
