Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday revealed the Trump administration is considering banning Chinese social media applications including TikTok, the popular short video-sharing social network, from being used in the United States.

“We’re taking this very seriously. We’re certainly looking at it,” Pompeo told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, citing the administration’s actions against the Chinese-based telecommunications companies Huawei and ZTE.

“With respect to Chinese apps on people’s cellphones, I can assure you the United States will get this one right too, Laura. I don’t want to get out in front of the president, but it’s something we’re looking at,” Pompeo said.
