美國總統特朗普在社交網站再提及香港，他指中國希望與美國達成貿易協議，但認為北京應該先人道地對待香港。
特朗普表示非常了解國家主席習近平，形容對方為偉大領導人，獲得人民尊重，在一些艱難議題上亦做好人，他絲毫不懷疑習近平希望盡早及人道地解決香港問題，深信對方可以做到。他提出是否可以就香港問題，與習近平舉行個人會談。
昨日特朗普亦曾在Twitter提及香港，指情報顯示中港邊界有解放軍部署。

..deferral to December. It actually helps China more than us, but will be reciprocated. Millions of jobs are being lost in China to other non-Tariffed countries. Thousands of companies are leaving. Of course China wants to make a deal. Let them work humanely with Hong Kong first!

I know President Xi of China very well. He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a “tough business.” I have ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it. Personal meeting?
