FBI Director Christopher Wray said US officials are still discussing how to address national-security concerns posed by TikTok, in comments that suggested a deal to keep the video-sharing app operating in the US isn’t a sure thing.

Wray reiterated his concerns that the Chinese-owned app could be used by Beijing to control millions of users’ software, steal information, launch hacking attacks or conduct influence operations.
