Included in a US foreign policy package that saw legislators approve funding for Israel, Taiwan, and $60.8 billion (£49 billion) in international aid to Ukraine was the TikTok legislation.
The US Senate will now consider the plan, and it is anticipated that they will pass it on Tuesday. Once the TikTok bill hits his desk, President Joe Biden has stated he will sign it.
The owner of the well-known video-sharing app will have nine months to find a buyer if the bill is passed into law, with the possibility of a three-month extension during the negotiation process.
A previous plan approved by the House last month would have given ByteDance’s owner just six months to sell.
The business will probably attempt to overturn the rule in court, claiming that millions of users of the app will lose their First Amendment rights, which safeguard free speech.
