US announces closure of VChat from September 20 and Tik Tak from November 12

The US government has once again announced a series of shutdowns on Chinese applications VChat and TikTak.

Initially, in August last year, two different executive orders were issued to shut down VChat and TikTak.

Donald Trump’s orders suggested that TuckTuck sell its US shares to a US company within 45 days, otherwise it would be shut down.

Similarly, VChat was told to sell its US assets to a US technology company within 45 days, otherwise it would be shut down.

Following the US President’s threat, several US companies had expressed interest in buying US assets for TickTalk and VChat, and later Donald Trump gave Chinese companies another 45 days.

That means both applications were due to sell their US assets to a US company by mid-November, but so far no company has reported any agreement with VChat.

But a few days ago, it was reported that the short video sharing application has agreed to work in the United States on a partnership basis with the American company Oracle.

There were reports that TickTalk and Oracle would jointly view US consumer data and content, and the companies submitted the agreement documents to the US Commerce Department on September 17.

After the two companies sent documents to the Commerce Department, US President Donald Trump said he would not sign the agreement between Tik Tak and Oracle.

The day before, Donald Trump had said that he was not ready to sign any of the agreements reached between Tik Tak and Oracle.

The US president said national security issues should be 100% pure and he would look into it before signing the agreement between the two companies.

Donald Trump also said that he would receive the documents of the agreement reached between TickTalk and Oracle by September 18 and that he was looking into the agreement between TickTalk and Oracle. And they will not accept it until they are completely satisfied and they are not ready to sign any agreement yet.

And now the news has come out that the US Department of Commerce has announced a series of shutdowns on VChat and TikTak.

The Associated Press (AP) reports that Commerce Secretary Wilburs Rose confirmed to Fox News Business that the US government has decided to ban both Chinese apps following the president’s instructions.

According to the Commerce Secretary, a special notification will be issued on September 18, stating that VChat will be banned across the United States from September 20 and no one will be able to download it.

The Commerce Secretary clarified that the US Government is taking all necessary steps to safeguard national security in the light of the President’s orders.

Reuters quoted the same report as saying that the US government had announced the closure of VChat from September 20 and Tik Tak from November 12.

According to US officials, TikTak can be used with Internet security until November 12, but will be banned after a certain period of time.

Officials also expressed the hope that by November 12, Tik Tak and Oracle would be able to reach a comprehensive and comprehensive US national security agreement.

However, US officials did not elaborate on the exact national security agreement, and neither the US government nor the Chinese government immediately responded to the announcement.

Tuck Talk is expected to reach a comprehensive agreement with Oracle before November 12.
