President Donald Trump has received bipartisan praise after he signed into law two human rights bills supporting Hong Kong’s autonomy amid widespread protests in the city.
Trump said late Wednesday that he signed the two bills out of respect for the Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the people of Hong Kong.
