March 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives
plans to vote on a bill Wednesday that would give TikTok's
Chinese owner ByteDance about six months to divest the short
video app used by 170 million Americans or face a ban.
The vote is expected around 10 a.m. under fast-track rules
that will require two-thirds of House members to support the
measure for passage. Some opponents of the legislation,
including Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost, think the
bill will pass. But the fate of the legislation is uncertain in
the U.S. Senate, where some senators want to take a different
approach.
