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.

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

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.
