Trump also banned Chinese apps, but Biden did not explain the situation

On September 18, the Trump administration in the US banned Chinese apps such as WeChat and TicketLock. The ban was to be implemented from September 20 and the apps were to be shut down completely on November 12, but the matter remained moot in the courts. The Trump administration was also trying in October to have the ban implemented. However, now after the election President Elect Joe Biden has not clarified his position on the issue. Because of this, this ban is not currently effective.
