During a private phone call in June, President Donald Trump promised Chinese President Xi Jinping that the US would remain quiet on pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong while trade talks continued, two sources familiar with the call tell CNN.
The remarkable pledge to the Chinese leader is a dramatic departure from decades of US support for human rights in China and shows just how eager Trump is to strike a deal with Beijing as the trade war weighs on the US economy.
And like other calls with the leaders of Ukraine, Russia and Saudi Arabia, records of Trump's call with Xi were moved to a highly-classified, codeword-protected system, greatly limiting the number of administration officials who were aware of the conversation.

According to CNN:
Two anonymous sources.
Trumps' phone calls are now on "a highly-classified, codeword-protected system" so CNN can't prove it's true but it looks suspicions.
CNN has Chinese Spies everywhere
Even if true, it’s good US policy.
And so what if he did?
three sources deny what the two sources say.
> “Trump promised Xi US silence on Hong Kong democracy protests as trade talks stalled”
False! Trump clearly stated international sanctions would be put in place against the PRC if they violated standing agreements with the SAR and rights of Hong Kong’s citizenry.
International sanctions would have the effect of expanding the trade war between the US and China to a worldwide refusal to trade with China which would collapse without oil imports.
So the President could not have been more clear what the PRC faced if they continued their conflict with HK.
A private telephone call. Expose these betrayers.
CNN is throwing red meat to Democrats.
Ahh, see. You need to speak media-ese to understand this story.
Let me do it for you. "Gloria Borger" in media-ese translated to English =
FAKE NEWS
Good.
Trump is a diplomat acting in the best interest of America
They heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another
Trump’s been messing around …
And we can believe as little of it as we like
CNN = FAKE NEWS
GHWB telling them “go ahead and run over your people with tanks, just keep shipping to Walmart” is the bigger scandal IMHO.
” is a dramatic departure from decades of US support for human rights in China”
ABSOLUTE LIE. Obamster did NOTHING, said NOTHING about the persecution of religious groups wether it be christians, galong Fong (sp?), or the minority Uighurs (again sp?)
Fake news.
Trump spoke very clearly on the issue at the UN.
He should promise to increase his comments- the Hong Kong people LOVE HIM.
Unless they make a deal.
It’s CNN.
You can assume they are lying. They probably are.
And the president can store his conversations on any damn server he pleases.
This is getting regoddamneddiculous. They are implying that every single thing Trump does is illegal or unethical. He can't fart without a congressional inquiry.
Compared to clinton, who had a private server on a public network, and had all of her email forwarded to a chinese company.
sooner, rather than later, the ukraine -clinton connection will be revealed...
Spies. Trump needs to fire everyone in the White House. Rehire only those who will take a week long lie detector test and surrender their cell phones.
