“Founding partner Greg Pilarowski was quoted in the TechNode article, “INSIGHTS – Trump’s app bans and what they mean for China tech”. The story discusses how President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on August 7, 2020, that ban transactions with the companies behind TikTok and WeChat starting September 20, 2020.
Greg spoke on how the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”)—which then-president Trump relied upon in issuing the bans—may limit the scope of the bans, but that despite the law’s disputability, the Commerce Department was likely to order the apps removed from U.S.-based app stores.”
