Trump to Raise Detainees with Xi, but Other Rights Issues May Not Come up
WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is expected to press Chinese leader Xi Jinping to free two US citizens held by China, but it is not clear whether other human-rights issues will get similar attention during this week's summit.
President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during a summit, with the aim of pressing for the release of two U.S. citizens currently detained by China. However, it remains uncertain whether other human rights concerns will receive the same level of attention. The U.S. official previewing the Chinese leader's visit stated that Trump is expected to raise cases of individuals wrongfully detained in China with Xi Jinping.
Yet, the White House has not confirmed if Trump will directly address broader human rights issues concerning Tibet, the Uyghur Muslim minority, or China's recently enacted "ethnic unity" law. Winning the freedom of Americans held overseas has been a top priority for Trump, according to advocates.
