President Trump TikTok Ban
President Trump has been trying to force ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese-owned parent company to sell the app. The driving force behind that idea is that ByteDance might be pressured from the Chinese government to conform to their wishes. And although it is being reported that ByteDance has hatched a deal with Oracle and Walmart, the details are yet to be confirmed. There have been numerous conflicting comments since the deal was first being talked about in the media last week.
At this moment in time, it’s unclear whether the Chinese government will sign off on the deal. Although the US Government is happy with the deal. Many people in China are unhappy about President Trump’s strong-arming ByteDance. Forcing a TikTok ban is being seen as an attack on the country’s tech sector and putting it in the hands of the Americans.

Is it ethical for the US president to force companies to conform to his wishes? Pro-Americans will believe it’s okay. Others believe it’s not his right to force companies to comply with his wishes.
