7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Yangon with interfaith leaders at the archbish- op’s residence, and separately with a prominent but controversial Buddhist leader. Associated Press Trump takes on controversy-laden agenda on Capitol Hill Powell casts himself as a figure of stability for the Federal Reserve WASHINGTON — Top Democratic lead- ers in Congress have abruptly pulled out of a planned meeting with President Donald Trump after he attacked them on Twitter. Trump tweeted early Tuesday that “I don’t see a deal!” with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer and top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi. Schumer and Pelosi shot back with a state- ment asking for talks with top GOP leaders in Congress. They said, “given that the president doesn’t see a deal between Democrats and the White House, we believe the best path forward is to continue negotiating with our Republican coun- terparts in Congress instead.” Congress faces a Dec. 8 deadline to pass stopgap legislation to keep the government open. They added, “we don’t have any time to waste.” Trump was set to meet with Republican con- gressional leaders to discuss budget and immi- gration issues. The president’s year-end agenda is at a critical juncture. AP Photo/Firdia Lisnawati Mount Agung volcano on Bali has erupted for the first time in more than half a cen- tury, forcing closure of the Indonesian tourist island’s busy airport as the mountain gushes huge columns of ash that are a threat to airplanes. Volcano gushing ash over Bali closes airport KARANGASEM, Indonesia — A volcano gushing towering columns of ash closed the air- port on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali for a second day Tuesday, disrupting travel for tens of thousands, as authorities renewed their warnings for villagers to evacuate. Mount Agung has been hurling clouds of white and dark gray ash about 13,000 feet high and lava is welling in its crater. The local airport authority said its closure for another 24 hours was required for safety rea- sons. Volcanic ash poses a deadly threat to aircraft, and ash from Agung is moving south-south- west toward the airport. Ash has reached a height of about 30,000 feet as it drifts across the island. “I don’t know, we can’t change it,” said stranded German tourist Gina Camp, sitting on a bench at the airport. “It’s the nature and we have to wait until it’s over.” She decided to look on the bright side, saying she planned to go back outside to enjoy another day on the island. Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ jab stuns families of Navajo war vets FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Families of Navajo war veterans who were honored at the White House say they were dumbfounded that Pres- ident Donald Trump used the event to take a political jab at a Massachusetts senator, demeaning their work with an unbreakable code that helped the U.S. win World War II. Trump turned to a nickname he often deployed for Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren during the 2016 presidential campaign: Pocahontas. He then told the three Navajo Code Talkers on stage Monday that he had affection for them that he doesn’t have for Warren. “It was uncalled for,” said Marty Thompson, whose great-uncle was a Navajo Code Talker. “He can say what he wants when he’s out doing his presidential business among his people, but when it comes to honoring veterans or any kind of people, he needs to grow up and quit saying things like that.” Pocahontas is a well-known historical figure who bridged her own Pamunkey Tribe in pres- ent-day Virginia with the British in the 1600s. But the National Congress of American Indi- ans says Trump wrongly has flipped the name into a derogatory term, and the comment drew swift criticism from American Indians and politicians. White House spokeswoman Sarah Hucka- WASHINGTON — Jerome Powell says that if confirmed as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, he expects the Fed to con- tinue raising interest rates gradually to support its twin goals of maximum employment and sta- ble prices. Under his leadership, Powell also says, the Fed would consider ways to ease the reg- ulatory burdens on banks while preserving the key reforms Congress passed to try to prevent another financial crisis. Powell’s comments came in written testi- mony prepared for his confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee. A member of the Fed’s board since 2012, Powell was nominated by President Don- ald Trump to succeed Janet Yellen after her four-year term as chair ends in February. Trump decided against offering Yellen a second term. In his remarks released Monday, Powell sought to send the reassuring message that he would represent a figure of stability and continu- ity at the nation’s central bank while remaining open to making certain changes as appropriate. bee Sanders, asked about criticism of Trump’s remarks, said a racial slur “was certainly not the president’s intent.” Pope meeting Suu Kyi on Myanmar refugee crisis amid outcry NAYPYITAW, Myanmar — Pope Fran- cis traveled to Myanmar’s capital on Tuesday to meet with Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who has come under increasing international criticism over a military crack- down on Rohingya Muslims that the U.N. and U.S. have termed a campaign of “ethnic cleansing.” Francis’ speech to Suu Kyi, other Myanmar officials and the diplomatic corps is the most anticipated of his visit, given the outcry over the operation which has sent more than 620,000 Rohingya fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh. The Rohingya, who have been denied citizen- Thousands of foreign troops in Syria — but will they leave? ship and other basic rights for decades in Bud- dhist-majority Myanmar, have reported entire villages burned and looted, and women and girls raped. Leaders of Myanmar’s Catholic Church have stressed that Suu Kyi, the country’s civil- ian leader, has no power to speak out against the military over the operation, and have urged con- tinued support for her efforts to move Myanmar toward a more democratic future that includes all its religious minorities, Christians in par- ticular. How Francis bridges the local Catho- lic concerns with his legacy of speaking out for oppressed minorities will be key in his speech in Naypyitaw, the capital. His address comes just hours after Suu Kyi was stripped of her latest honor in the West, a “Freedom of the City” award given to her by the Oxford City Council, which said anyone who turns a blind eye to violence tarnished its own reputation. Suu Kyi studied at Oxford before returning to Myanmar and being placed under detention for 15 years during the country’s long military dictatorship. Before arriving in Naypyitaw, Francis met in BEIRUT — Syria’s long-running civil war may be winding down slowly, but the country is awash in weapons and a confounding array of local militias and thousands of foreign troops, some of which may never leave. With crucial aid from allies Iran and Russia, President Bashar Assad has regained control over large areas of Syria in advances that appear to have put to rest the possibility of a mili- tary overthrow, at least for now. But his rule is extremely reliant on continued assistance from Iranian-sponsored militias, which have spread across the war-ravaged country. The fight against the Islamic State group, which proliferated soon after the conflict began in 2011, has provided a convenient justification for foreign troops to be deployed in Syria with the pretext of fighting the extremists. Now that IS no longer holds any significant urban terri- tory in Syria, the numbers of some forces may be scaled down, but foreign powers with lon- ger-term ambitions and interests will try to maintain a presence in the country for years to come. That will further complicate prospects for a peace settlement. Some countries have already indicated that they plan to stay for the foreseeable future.
