Alibaba could be the next target for U.S. sanctions as President Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention to put pressure on other Chinese companies such as the tech giant after the TikTok ban.
Asked by a reporter at a press conference on Saturday whether there are other companies from China on the agenda that he is considering for a ban, such as Alibaba, for example, Trump answered in the affirmative: βYes, we are considering other objects ".
On Friday it became known that the United States China's ByteDance has a 90-day deadline to relinquish ownership of TikTok's US operation. The State Department explains its pressure by concerns about the security of the personal data of US citizens collected by the TikTok video service. And although the video service has repeatedly assured the State Department that the data of American users is stored on servers in the United States and Singapore, and the Chinese authorities do not have any access to them, for some reason this argument is not taken into account by Donald Trump.
