The law that they are trying to pass... they are not wrong either.

H.R.815 Sections H and I have already passed, and there is no "sales agreement" because TikTok hasn't officially negotiated with any potential buyers. The US Government as a whole doesn't want or need TikTok, they just don't want China using it as a weapon.
