The US Senate version of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy and the Hong Kong Protection Act were passed by the House of Representatives on November 20. It is expected to be signed by President Donald Trump as soon as possible on the 21st.

Reuters quoted sources as saying that Trump is expected to sign the bill. The report did not disclose the identity of the source, and did not explain when Trump will officially sign, only that Trump will sign the bill.

If the two bills are formally signed, the United States will at least once a year confirm that Hong Kong has sufficient autonomy and is eligible for special status in trade. The bill also allows the United States to sanction officials who violate human rights in Hong Kong and prohibits the export of specific crowd control tools to the Hong Kong police, including tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and stun guns.
