Trump executive order against Tencent-owned companies does not affect video game holdings

Tencent, a tech company based in China, will soon be prohibited from U.S. transactions following an executive order signed by President Trump on Thursday. The executive order, the effects of which are slated to go into effect in 45 days, effectively prohibits WeChat, the messaging service owned by Tencent, from operating within the United States. A White House official clarified to the Los Angeles Times that the executive order isn’t aimed at video game companies owned by Tencent.
