President Donald Trump announced a 75-day delay to the sale-or-ban deadline on Friday .

A dozen House Republicans warn that “any resolution must ensure that U.S. law is followed” The original Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support to address what lawmakers insisted was a pressing national security threat.

Warner maintains that lawmakers want a TikTok sale that keeps the app in the US .

Warner says he remains concerned that TikTok ’s ownership structure could allow a foreign adversary government to influence young Americans .

Still, lawmakers seem unlikely to do much beyond (maybe) trying to pass a new law if Trump continues to flout the existing one.
