The Government and President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump has once again, expressed his deep concern on the ongoing violent protest in Hong Kong, as he warns all sides, while also calling for a humane resolution to the violent protest.
The U.S White House in a Press statement released a few hours, ago, said the United States condemns the violence and at the same time sympathize with victims regardless of where they might stand.
The Statement released by the White House on Tuesday 12th November 2019, reads:
“The United States is watching the situation in Hong Kong with grave concern. We condemn violence on all sides, extend our sympathies to victims of violence regardless of their political inclinations, and call for all parties— police and protesters— to exercise restraint. We repeat President Trump’s call for a humane resolution to the protests.
The increased polarization within Hong-Kong society underscores the need for a broad-based and sincere dialogue between the government, protesters, and citizenry writ large. The United States urges the Hong Kong government to build on its dialogue with the Hong Kong public and begin efforts to address the underlying concerns driving the protests. We also urge the protesters to respond to efforts at dialogue.
The United States believes that Hong Kong’s autonomy, its adherence to the rule of law, and its commitment to protecting civil liberties are key to preserving its special status under U.S. law, as well as to the success of “One Country, Two Systems” and Hong Kong’s future stability and prosperity.
We urge Beijing to honour the commitments it made in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, including commitments that they will “enjoy a high degree of autonomy” and that the people of Hong-Kong will enjoy human rights the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly— core values that we share with Hong Kong” the statement said.
