The United States will take action to prevent alleged espionage by Chinese students, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said ahead of an expected announcement by President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump said that he will hold a press conference Friday about China amid soaring tensions between the two powers, including over the status of Hong Kong and the novel coronavirus pandemic. Asked about a report in The New York Times that Trump was considering throwing out thousands of graduate students, Pompeo said Thursday that Chinese students “shouldn’t be here in our schools spying.”
