US warns Uganda of potential 'repercussions' if LGBTQ law takes effect

The White House on Wednesday warned Uganda of possible economic "repercussions" if a law imposing severe new restrictions on LGBTQ rights takes effect.

"We would have to take a look at whether or not there might be repercussions that we would have to take, perhaps in an economic way, should this law actually get passed and enacted," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.
