Trump cares less about the Uyghar's than the Jews.

Though I doubt he could find either Israel or China on a map.

Precisely. This administration's concern for the Uyghurs is skin-deep; it's essentially just a justification to punish any unauthorized connections to China. The actual details of the conflict (for instance, that the Uyghurs are ethnically Muslim) aren't relevant to them.
