Earlier, Trump issued an executive order requiring ByteDance to divest its interests in video-sharing app TikTok's operations in the US within 90 days.
US President Donald Trump has indicated that he was looking to ban other Chinese-owned companies, including e-commerce giant Alibaba in the United States, days after signing an executive order targetting TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, Fox News reported.
The development came after Trump issued an executive order on August 14, requiring ByteDance to divest its interests in video-sharing app TikTok`s operations in the US within 90 days.
There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States," Trump wrote in the order issued on Friday.
The earlier executive order from Trump prohibited the China-based company from doing business with the US firms after 45 days.
TikTok has already threatened legal action against the first executive order.
The new executive order directed ByteDance to "divest any data it obtained from users of TikTok or Musical.ly in the United States".
Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that the Trump administration is "working hard" to protect Americans from the threats of "untrusted vendors" such as TikTok and WeChat, which it wants to remove from US app stores like those operated by Apple and Google.US politicians have repeatedly criticised TikTok, owned by Beijing-based startup ByteDance, of being a threat to national security because of its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
China and the US are at loggerheads on a variety of issues including Hong Kong national security law, the South China Sea, coronavirus and trade.
Last month, India`s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) banned 47 apps, which were variants and cloned copies of the 59 apps banned earlier in June.
These banned clones include Tiktok Lite, Helo Lite, SHAREit Lite, BIGO LIVE Lite and VFY Lite.
The 59 apps, most of which were Chinese, had been banned by the Indian government in view of the information available that they are engaged in activities which are "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity and defence" of the country.
The ban came amid the standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in Eastern Ladakh.
