New York: Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong has urged US President Donald Trump to include a “human rights clause” in any trade agreement with China, and sought Washington’s backing for the city’s democracy movement.

The 22-year-old called on American politicians to pass a Bill expressing support for the pro-democracy campaign during a speaking engagement in New York, a few hours after arriving in the United States.

The world’s two biggest economies have been locked in a bitter trade war for the past year, resulting in tit-for-tat tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars in two-way trade. Trade talks between Beijing and Washington are scheduled for October. Wong arrived in the US after visiting Germany as he seeks global support for Hong Kong’s widening pro-democracy protests that have crippled parts of the Asian financial hub in recent months.
