BREAKING: Trump signs Hong Kong bill denounced by Beijing
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a bill demonstrating strong bipartisan support for pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, despite objections raised by Beijing.
It would also empower the Trump administration to impose sanctions on Hong Kong or Chinese officials who take actions that violate human rights. Trump cast some uncertainty over his position when he refused to commit to signing it during an interview on"Fox and Friends." He cited concerns at the time about jeopardizing trade talks with Beijing.
