WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration would take a"good look" at a Hong Kong Bill that passed the US Congress nearly unanimously, as lawmakers awaited his decision on whether he would sign it into law or issue a veto.
Asked if he was going to sign the legislation, Trump said:"It's being sent over . We're going to take a very good look at it." If Trump were to issue a veto, it would take two-thirds majorities in both the House of Representatives and Senate to override it and allow the bill to become law.Related Stories:
