By Mary Anne ButlerJuly 31, 20201 Min Read

This just in across our desks on a Friday night, but it sounds like Donald Trump is keen to outright BAN social media video platform TikTok from the United States of America.

Earlier today, Microsoft announced interest in purchasing the China-based company.

Trump said in response to this news: “We’re looking at TikTok, we may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some other things. There’s a couple of options. But a lot of things are happening, so we’ll see what happens. But we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok.”

This is the newest update on the situation from White House reporter Zeke Miller:
