The Commerce Department announces it will ban U.S. business transactions with China-owned social apps WeChat and TikTok on Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a signing ceremony for the U.S.-China "phase-one" trade agreement in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020.The Commerce Department announced Friday morning that it would ban U.S. business transactions with China-owned social apps WeChat and TikTok on Sunday.

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump was expected to announce whether or not the government will approve a deal for Oracle to take a minority stake in TikTok and become a "trusted technology partner" for the company in the U.S. It's unclear if the Commerce Department's announcement means there's no possibility of a deal going through before the deadline, and it could be an aggressive move from the Trump Administration to push for its original intention for TikTok to be fully owned by a U.S. company.

"At the President's direction, we have taken significant action to combat China's malicious collection of American citizens' personal data, while promoting our national values, democratic rules-based norms, and aggressive enforcement of U.S. laws and regulations." Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement Friday.

Trump admits TikTok can't legally pay US government as part of sale - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. I believe the correct position is to be against Facebook's buying Instagram on antitrust -AND- to be against Tiktok operating in USA when China blocks all our our apps. I am a democrat. Both issues have nothing to do with Trump Well duh, we aren’t some sort of communist country after all, not yet anyway. Trump wants a payoff!!!
