On the 15th (local time), President Trump said in a press briefing, "We are looking into whether Alibaba should be banned in the United States."


Previously, amid conflicts with China, the U.S. announced sanctions not only on Chinese telecommunications equipment company Huawei but also on the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok. This suggests that sanctions could be extended to include Alibaba as well.



President Trump also mentioned that China is purchasing U.S. meat and grains to appear favorable to him. He stated that China bought the largest amount of corn in history.
