Trump says he held off on sanctions over Chinese detention camps in order to help with trade deal
President Donald Trump has said he held off on imposing sanctions on Chinese officials over the mass incarceration of Muslim minorities in Xinjiang to protect US-China trade negotiations, according to an interview published on Sunday.
When asked by news site Axios why he has held off on imposing direct US Treasury sanctions on Chinese officials linked to Xinjiang, Trump said:"Well, we were in the middle of a major trade deal." The Trump administration has been criticized for being selective on punishing human rights abuses, though the president last week signed legislation that would authorize sanctions against officials involved in the Xinjiang detentions.
