Trump's desire for Greenland, Panama Canal legit amid China concerns: Rubio

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Donald Trump's desire to acquire Greenland and retake control of the Panama Canal is driven by legitimate national security interests stemming from growing concerns about Chinese activity and influence in the Arctic and in Latin America. Ahead of a trip to Central America that will start in Panama this weekend, Rubio said Thursday that he could not predict if Trump would succeed in buying Greenland from Denmark or restoring American authority over the Panama Canal while he is office. But he said the attention that Trump will give to both would have an impact. What I think you can rest assured of is that four years from now, our interest in the Arctic will be more secure; our interest in the Panama Canal will be more secure, Rubio said in an interview with SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly. Rubio will arrive in Panama on Saturday on his first official foreign trip as America's top diplomat, signalling the importance that both he and Trump place o

How TikTok grew from a fun app to potential national security threat in US

If it feels like TikTok has been around forever, that's probably because it has, at least if you're measuring via internet time. What's now in question is whether it will be around much longer and, if so, in what form? Starting in 2017, when the Chinese social video app merged with its competitor Musical.ly, TikTok has grown from a niche teen app into a global trendsetter. While, of course, also emerging as a potential national security threat, according to US officials. On April 24, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring TikTok parent ByteDance to sell to a US owner within a year or to shut down. TikTok and its China-based parent company, ByteDance, filed a lawsuit against the US, claiming the security concerns were overblown and the law should be struck down because it violates the First Amendment. The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok beginning Jan 19 unless it's sold by ByteDance. Here's how TikTok came to this juncture: -- Mar
