US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was interviewed by the think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) last Friday (May 29), and the recording was made public on Monday (June 1). He said that in response to Beijing's enactment of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law", Washington is considering welcoming people from Hong Kong, but he did not give details of issues such as immigration quotas and visas.

Pompeo was asked on that day whether Washington was considering sending Hong Kong people to the United States and bringing entrepreneurial creativity. He said that he was considering options, but it was unknown how they would work.

Pompeo said that the relationship between the United Kingdom and Hong Kong is different. Many Hong Kong people have British national passports. Hong Kong and the United Kingdom have a long historical relationship, which is different from the situation in the United States, but Washington is studying the relevant situation.

British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on May 28 that unless China suspends the implementation of the national security laws in the port area, the British government will send more than 300,000 British nationals (overseas) passports (BNO) to Hong Kong ) Holders provide greater visa rights, cancel the 6-month residence period of BNO holders, allow them to apply for employment and school in the UK for 12 months, and can be extended to provide a way to apply for citizenship.
