    The Executive Order 13971, issued by President Donald J. Trump, addresses the national security threat posed by certain software applications developed or controlled by Chinese companies. It prohibits any transactions involving specific apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay, effective 45 days from the order, unless permitted by law. The order empowers the Secretary of Commerce to evaluate other potentially risky apps and aims to prevent the transfer of U.S. user data to foreign adversaries. It also outlines measures for implementation and states that if any part of the order is invalid, the rest remains unaffected.

    Simple Explanation

    The president made a rule to stop certain apps from China, like Alipay and WeChat Pay, from working in the U.S. because they might share people's information with countries that aren't friendly. The rule lets the Secretary of Commerce decide if other apps also need to be stopped to keep people safe.
