发帖数: 9493 | 1 Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) threatened on Friday to override a potential
Trump veto of sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials accused of
human rights abuses related to their handling of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy
protesters.
The sanctions form the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which
passed both chambers of Congress with a veto-proof majority. The Senate
signed off on the bill on Tuesday.
“President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party cannot silence the United
States Congress,” Cruz said in a statement. “In case they aren’t familiar
with how our Constitution works, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy
Act passed the House and Senate by overwhelming veto-proof majorities and it
will become law.”
Cruz’s comments were directed toward President Trump, who did not indicate
if he would sign the bill in a Friday interview on Fox and Friends.
