Trump says he raised political-prisoner cases with Xi Jinping

President Donald Trump said he raised political-prisoner cases with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their recent Washington meeting, including those of Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai and detained American Min Zin. Trump called the discussions important and said he hoped they would prove fruitful, but did not detail what was discussed or indicate whether any releases were secured. Lai, the founder of the now-shuttered Apple Daily newspaper and a prominent critic of Beijing, is serving a 20-year prison sentence; U.S. officials have described Min Zin as wrongfully detained.
