Earlier in August, Trump signed two executive orders that would prohibit Americans from conducting transactions with the Chinese-owned apps TikTok and WeChat. This, in fact, would ban both apps. US companies including Apple, Ford, Walmart and Disney were reportedly lobbying against the executive order targeting WeChat.
8月初，川普簽署兩項行政命令，將禁止美國人與中國應用程式抖音和微信交易，實際上等於禁用這兩個應用程式。據報導，蘋果、福特、沃爾瑪和迪士尼等美國公司都在遊說反對針對微信的行政命令。

At the request of a Bloomberg reporter at a White House press conference on whether the President was concerned that banning the Chinese app could hurt Apple’s iPhone sales in China, Trump simply replied by saying “Whatever.” He added that his priority is to do what is “good in terms of the security of our country. We’ve been very badly let down by China.”
在白宮記者會上，一名彭博記者問總統是否擔心禁用這款中國應用程式會影響蘋果iPhone在中國的銷售，川普只回答說：「無所謂」。他還說，他的當務之急就是做「有利於我們國家安全的事情，因為中國讓我們非常失望。」

WeChat is a very popular application among Chinese users. In a Bloomberg survey conducted in August, 95% of respondents in China said they would rather give up their iPhones than lose WeChat.
微信是非常受中國用戶歡迎的應用程式。彭博8月份進行的一項調查顯示，95％的中國受訪者表示，他們寧願不用iPhone，也不願失去微信。

The order could force Apple to remove WeChat from its app store, which would effectively cut off easy communication between millions of families. That in turn could make iPhone much less appealing to Chinese consumers.
川普的行政命令可能迫使蘋果把微信從其應用程式商店中下架，這實際上會切斷數百萬家庭輕鬆的聯繫方式，也因此可能會大幅降低iPhone對中國消費者的吸引力。
