Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says that, as president, he would consider banning the TikTok video-sharing platform because of its ownership links to China.
“The amount of stuff going in with TikTok I do think represents a threat to our country, given China’s ownership of it,” Mr. DeSantis told CNBC’s “Last Call” on Monday.
Montana became the first state to ban the app outright. In May, Mr. DeSantis signed a law that bans the app on state and school-issued devices. The federal government has banned it from official devices, and congressional lawmakers are pushing for a national ban.
