Trump proposes meeting with Chinese President on crisis in Hong Kong

Chinese President Xi Jinping can resolve the crisis over the standoff between the government and protesters in Hong Kong in a "humane" way, said President Donald Trump, proposing a meeting with the Chinese leader.

"I have absolutely no doubt that if President Xi wants to solve the problem in Hong Kong in a quick and humane way, he can do it," Trump, who is on vacation in New Jersey, wrote on Twitter.
