U.S.-China tensions over coronavirus have been rising for weeks. The spat took a more serious turn after China adopted a law threatening Hong Kong.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Friday his administration would withdraw from the World Health Organization and move to revoke Hong Kong's special trading status, though he did not give a timeline or specify exactly what privileges would be withdrawn from that territory.
Trump made the announcements during a Rose Garden event in which he leveled a long list of complaints against China – from engaging in unfair trade practices to hiding the scope and severity of the deadly coronavirus. The already frayed U.S.-China relationship took a more serious turn this week after China adopted a new security law that threatens Hong Kong's autonomy, leading the Trump administration to declare it no longer considers the city to be autonomous from mainland China.
