WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday called for legislation to force TikTok's parent company, China's ByteDance, to divest the short video app used by 170 million Americans. "Requiring the divestment of Beijing-influenced entities from TikTok would land squarely within established constitutional precedent," McConnell said, adding "it wouldbegin to turn back the tide of an enormous threat to America’s children." He called TikTok "America’s greatest strategic rival is threatening our security right here on U.S. soil in tens of millions of American homes."
