WASHINGTON - The Trump administration will announce measures shortly against"a broad array" of Chinese-owned software deemed to pose national-security risks, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said.

The president continues to weigh his options and may have an answer on Monday or Tuesday, Fox Business reported on Sunday evening. "If the company & data can be purchased & secured by a trusted US company that would be a positive & acceptable outcome," Senator Marco Rubio of Florida said on Twitter. Chinese software companies doing business in the US are feeding data directly to Chinese authorities"whether it's TikTok or WeChat - there are countless more," Pompeo, on of the Trump administraton's China hawks, said on Fox News Channel's"Sunday Morning Futures".

That view that"there has to be a change" is shared by lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, Mnuchin said. The business's US$1 billion creator fund also supports people in the country who are building livelihoods from the platform, she added."TikTok's biggest investors come from the U.S. We are committed to protecting our users' privacy and safety."
