Trump signs bills in support of Hong Kong protesters.
on Wednesday signed two bills aimed at supporting human rights and pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.
Congress approved the bills last week following months of unrest in the semi-autonomous Chinese city. Before Wednesday’s signing announcement, Trump would only commit to giving the measures a “hard look.” Another bill prohibits export to Hong Kong police of certain nonlethal munitions, including tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, water cannons, stun guns and tasers.
