U.S. to act on TikTok, other Chinese apps in coming days: White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will take action in coming days on the popular short-video app TikTok and other Chinese apps, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany told reporters at a briefing on Tuesday, but gave no other details.

“He and Secretary (of State) Pompeo have said the U.S. will take action in coming days on Chinese apps including TikTok due to the national security risk,” she said.

2. Taking action...

Taking action does not seem to mean much other than, uh, maybe, meh, something or other.

It's the what and how that don't seem to be clear. Drumpf's "coming" health care plan is the standard for the empty rhetoric. Meaningless is becoming a norm for announcements. Flurry, bluster, pomp and circumstances.

Other countries must be finding us both highly vulnerable and laughably ridiculous now. Predator Grump has accomplished making America rather insignificant.
