Overview
Fortune cited a Steptoe International Compliance Blog post in an August 12 article titled "'Irreplaceable': US WeChat Users Struggle to Imagine Life Without the App Trump Wants to Ban." The article discusses the executive order President Trump signed to ban US individuals and companies from "any transaction" with WeChat. The executive order on the messaging app will take effect on September 20, along with one placing similar restrictions on short-video app TikTok.
In the article, the editor writes that "the scope of Trump's executive order is not yet known, but it 'could impact the ability of US persons to download or utilize the apps,' according to a briefing from international law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP."
