Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok, now argues the move would unfairly advantage Facebook. The House has passed legislation requiring TikTok's sale or facing a ban, which President Biden supports. The White House denies seeking a TikTok ban, aiming instead for American ownership to protect data.
