Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has urged President Donald Trump to publicly speak out in support of protesters in Hong Kong as violence in the region intensified over the weekend at a Hong Kong campus.
“I would encourage this president, who has seen Chinese behavior for what it is with a clarity that others have lacked, not to shy away from speaking out on Hong Kong himself,” McConnell told the Senate floor on Nov. 18, The Hill reported.
