Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said that whoever wins the US presidential election should end interference in the internal affairs of her city and China overall.

She accused the Trump administration of repeatedly interfering over the past year, citing US sanctions on officials including herself and the suspension of special trading conditions previously granted to Hong Kong.
