If the Trump administration moves forward with plans to make Tencent divest its U.S. video game investments, it could mark a major change for the entertainment company. Tencent has heavily invested in video game companies over the past few years, including its 28% stake in _Fortnite_ developer Epic Games. The company also outright owns _League of Legends_ developer Riot Games, and _Back 4 Blood_ and _Left 4 Dead_ developer Turtle Rock Studios. Tencent has investments in several other game studios as well, including some in Europe and Japan.

Several of the Trump administration's top Cabinet members have reportedly met to discuss the potential security risk that Tencent's gaming investments present to the U.S. Another internal meeting was set for Tuesday, but was reportedly delayed. The results of this meeting could drastically affect Tencent and the video game sector.
