TikTok could become a 100% American company, as per Larry Kudlow, Trump Adviser

US President Donald Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow has said that TikTok may cut off ties to its Chinese parent and become a 100 percent American company to circumvent demands to ban it as India has done.

New York: "I think TikTok is going to pull out of the holding company which is China-run and operate as an independent American company," Kudlow told reporters at the White House.

The ban came after a deadly clash between Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh.

Under Beijing's National Security Law, all Chinese companies have to provide intelligence requested by the government, creating risks for users and their countries.

India was TikTok's biggest market outside of China, where it operates as Douyin.

There were about 200 million users in India and over 300 million downloads.

The US comes next with over 30 million users for the app.
