WASHINGTON/BEIJING, Aug 7 (dpa): The embattled short-video app TikTok on Friday suggested it might seek justice in US courts after President Donald Trump signed an order banning US citizens from carrying out transactions with TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance.

"We will pursue all remedies available to us in order to ensure that the rule of law is not discarded and that our company and our users are treated fairly - if not by the [Trump] Administration, then by the US courts," TikTok said in a statement on its website.
