Trump says considering TikTok ban as China row deepens

US President Donald Trump said he is considering banning the wildly popular video-sharing app TikTok as a way to punish China over the coronavirus pandemic, remarks China described Wednesday as "a malicious smear". TikTok has been caught up in the escalating disputes between the United States and China, with the Chinese-owned firm accused of acting as a spying tool for Beijing -- an allegation it denies. Trump did not provide any details, and told Gray Television that it was "one of many" options he was considering against China, Bloomberg added.
