Pres. Trump says he is directing his administration to impose sanctions on unspecified Chinese officials tied to China’s latest moves on Hong Kong.

that the U.S. would permanently stop funding the W.H.O. and withdraw from the United Nations agency unless it made"major substantive improvements within the next 30 days."

He did not mention the death of George Floyd, a black man who was seen pinned down in a video by a white police officer in Minneapolis and later died, or the ensuing protests across the country. A protester prays in front of the memorial of George Floyd who died in custody on May 26, 2020 in Minneapolis.

"China's latest incursion, along with other recent developments that degraded the territory’s freedoms, makes clear that Hong Kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous to warrant the special treatment that we have afforded the territory since the handover" of the territory from Britain to China, Trump said.

He said the announcement"will affect the full range of agreements we have with Hong Kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with a few exceptions,” he said. “We will be revising the State Department's travel advisory for Hong Kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the Chinese state security apparatus.”

China: Trump who? 🥱

What could go wrong?

Just another diversion. Why don’t you look at why you have to make these diversions

Good move.

トランプ大統領、国安法に関わったチャイナ高官たち個人にも制裁適用するよう指示、か。いいね👍。

More BS distractions.

He isn’t going to do anything. It’s his typical attempt at distraction. Ivanka doesn’t want to lose her trademarks

Great. China is our clear target

Sanctions? How many sanctions do you have left Donny. They just may start collecting on all US debt they have covered.

Absolutely no one cares about this now. America is in need and Trump is MIA.

He just makes sh*t up as he goes. Pathetic.

Another attempt to distract us from seeing his total screwup on fighting the pandemic and his lack of presidential empathy in the George Floyd murder.

Whatever he has left in his remaining months doesn’t matter anymore. The worst in the history. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

itetemia unasemaje?

Hong Kong is just another shiney object.

Only sweep the snow in front of others, whichever frost on their own tiles

Insufferable beyond comprehension.

This Thing is Trash. He should be arrested already. The US is in complete chaos and he's talking trash.

So did Ivanka not get the trademarks and copyrights she wanted?

Free HK!

Great 👍🏼 realDonaldTrump that’s going to come in handy with all of these protests, all the hurt and anger. I’m sure tonight will be really calm due to this announcement.
