Trump Says He Will Bring Up Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai in Xi Summit

US President Donald Trump said he will raise the case of Hong Kong’s imprisoned former media tycoon Jimmy Lai in his upcoming summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, adding a potential friction point to an agenda already complicated by the Iran war.

“I will be bringing it up,” Trump told conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt on Salem News Channel on Monday, when asked whether he will discuss Lai’s case with Xi during his visit to China scheduled for May 14-15.
