Trump Says He Raised Political Prisoners' Cases with Chinese President XiPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump said he discussed the release of political prisoners with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their recent meeting. Trump confirmed raising cases including Myanmar scholar and US citizen Min Zin, detained since June, and Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai, sentenced to 20 years for charges related to national security. The White House had anticipated these discussions but did not specify if broader human rights issues like Tibet or Uyghurs were addressed. Trump prioritizes securing freedom for Americans held abroad.
