Former Trump adviser John Bolton writes that according to an interpreter who was present, when China's leader explained his reasoning for putting ethnic Uighurs in detention camps, the president agreed it was 'the right thing to do.'

President Donald Trump arrives to speak about the PREVENTS "President's Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide," task force, in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday, June 17, 2020, in Washington.

The Uighur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 passed with overwhelming support from Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Trump signed it with no ceremony, issuing a statement in which he said a sanctions provision intruded on executive authority and he would regard it as non-binding.Still, Uighur activists see the approval as an important step.

The signing came as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was meeting in Hawaii with a senior Chinese diplomat, and as revelations from the soon-to-be-released Bolton book were emerging. “According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which he thought was exactly the right thing to do,” Bolton wrote.

The law would impose sanctions on specific Chinese officials, such as the Communist Party official who oversees government policy in Xinjiang. Trump said in his signing statement that a provision dictating when sanctions could be terminated interfered with executive authority and would be considered non-binding.

I've come to realize that he has canned responses that he throws out there without thinking. He thinks he's being political when in fact he's acting like he's at a business luncheon.

Xi , Trump’a her zaman yaptığı gibi kamp meselesini süsleyerek, gerçekleri çarptırarak yanıltıcı bilgi vermiştir.

fake news

China’s doing what ⁉️

And crickets from the OIC member states... Is it simply $ or are they in belief that efforts will curb extremism and defectors to Syria.. seems like it's just China's war on terror, the vast majority of terror incidents in contemporary China has occurred in Xinjiang province..

I truly hope people are not shocked by these revelations. No reason to be. Nothing in Bolton’s book should surprise us on Trump’s actions. We’ve witnessed it throughout his presidency already. It’s just been acceptable by lawmakers.

The senators who voted to acquit him must be removed, all of them.

He’s trying to sell his book . Furthermore the people that were in the room with him say that never happened. But you only tell the story that fits your Narrative and not the full truth!

cryborg JFC

He is such a disgrace to mankind. Absolute filth.

TRUMP IS DOING THINGS NOW AFTER 3 YEARS TO WIN VOTES. TRYING TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK LIKE A GOOD GUY WHO CARES. BULLSHIT TRUMP WOULD STEP ON YOUR DEAD BODY TO GET REELECTED.

Omg -

'President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday that seeks to punish China for a crackdown on ethnic minorities': that's actually what the world expects of the US leader&teams: to respect &advance human rights on earth, to protect the planet, to lead in all areas!

This President is just SAVAGE.

Joh “weapons of mass destruction” Bolton has killed 100s of thousands of people in the Middle East. He should be behind bars

He thinks camps for dissidents are a good thing. Good for authority. Now we see why 80 Generals & Admirals are mobilizing against him & his beliefs. If there ever was an 'domestic threat'.., Trump represents that entity. Something active duty and Veterans alike a waking up to.

He got detention camps in the U S that why he agree

Trump’s supporters will express their distaste with anything against him so vividly. They will attack Bolton as “Fake News” & will then try to dissociate with the news agencies reporting on it. They suffer from a superiority complex & are victim’s of abuse. Jesus help them.

China said it so it must be true. Or at least that what the AP-CCP says.

'A Chinese interpreter told me' oh f*ck lol i'm dying 😂

If you support this president at this point you’re kind of a piece of S or you are extremely, grossly ignorant

Interesting that what Bolton claims is the opposite of what Trump is doing. Weird.

Of course he did. He had one objective...get China to buy more US goods to help his Trump’s re-election. Xi could have said he was boiling babies and Trump would have agreed. Trump’s only concern is Trump. He is devoid of a moral compass

Ever ask yourself why the Democrat Party media omits context
