WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday the United States would use the United Nations General Assembly this month to persuade countries to help ¡°call out¡± China over treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority.
Asked after a speech at Kansas State University how Washington had been promoting an end to the oppression of Uighurs in China, Pompeo told an audience there: ¡°Insufficiently, because it¡¯s still going on.¡±
¡°We are going to have this U.N. General Assembly in the third week in September. We¡¯ll do a number of gatherings, where our efforts will be to get other countries to sign up to help us call out this activity,¡± Pompeo said.
