Trump signed law slapping sanctions on China for interference in Hong Kong
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he signed legislation to impose sanctions on China in response to its interference with Hong Kong’s autonomy.
Trump also said in the White House Rose Garden that he signed an executive order ending the preferential treatment that Hong Kong has long enjoyed.
The Trump administration has previously blamed China for the unfolding health crisis caused by the coronavirus, and it has criticized Beijing for its illegal territorial claims in the South China Sea.
