TikTok could still be banned in the US

TikTok is still on the brink of being banned in the United States after House Republicans included the proposed legislation in a package of bills which would secure foreign aid for Israel and Ukraine. The latest development sees this action included in a House package as Representatives strive to secure votes for foreign aid agreements following further negotiations with the Senate on how long ByteDance would have to sell TikTok to prevent it from being banned in the States.
