Published | Video Starts at 00:28

TikTok is what Xi Jinping calls the smokeless battlefield. It is. That's why we passed that. Right? It's why we pass it. And it's. But it's why it's so regrettable that the deal that the President has pushed does not actually execute the bill that Congress passed. (00:28–00:33)
