The President has signed the executive order of outlawing the Chinese applications by citing the national security risks and the potential threats for the safety of the personal data of the American people.
The Union Information and Technology Ministry said that the newly banned applications were mainly clones of the 59 applications that were banned last month.
The consensus between the neighbors achieved a week after the border troops engaged in the violent face-off and skirmish that resulted in the death of twenty Indian soldiers.
The External Affairs Ministry had said that India and China have been discussing through military and diplomatic channels on de-escalation of the situation in the border area in eastern Ladakh.
According to the Indian Army, both sides reported casualties and this is the first time that the Line of Actual Control (LAC) had reported the casualties in forty years.
