Trump links tariff relief for
Canada, Mexico to NAFTA talks
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said today
that North American neighbors Canada and Mexico will get
no relief from his new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports
unless a “new and fair” free trade agreement is signed.
The Trump administration says the tariffs are necessary
to preserve the American industries — and that doing so is a
national security imperative. But Trump’s latest tweets sug-
gest he’s also using the upcoming tariffs as leverage in ongoing
talks to revise the North American Free Trade Agreement. The
latest round of a nearly year-long renegotiation effort is con-
cluding this week in Mexico City.
The tariffs will be made official in the next two weeks, White
House officials said today, as the administration defended the
protectionist decision from critics in Washington and overseas.
Trump’s pronouncement last week that he would impose
tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, roiled markets and ran-
kled allies.
The across-the-board action breaks with the recommen-
dation of the Pentagon, which pushed for more targeted tar-
iffs on metals imports from countries like China and warned
that a wide-ranging move would jeopardize national security
partnerships.
Trump has threatened to tax European cars if the EU boosts
tariffs on American products in response to the president’s plan
to increase duties on steel and aluminum.
British Prime Minister Theresa May raised her “deep con-
cern” at the tariff announcement in a phone call with Trump
Sunday. May’s office says she noted that multilateral action was
the only way to resolve the problem of global overcapacity.”
Push is on to restore power with
a 2nd storm on the way
BOSTON — Power is slowly being restored in the hard-
est-hit areas of the East Coast, days after a destructive nor’eas-
ter downed trees and power lines, flooded coastal towns and
forced a number of school districts to cancel classes — with
another storm forecast for midweek.
Residents from Virginia to Massachusetts faced a massive
cleanup today following the storm, which was blamed for nine
deaths, including two children struck by trees. Utility crews
worked around the clock to restore power to the affected areas,
as nearly 300,000 struggled without electricity. At the height
of the storm, more than 2 million homes and businesses were
without electricity.
Three days after the storm, some residents were still unsure
when they could return to their homes.
Even as the cleanup is underway, another storm is predicted
to hit the region. But National Weather Service meteorologist
Lenore Correia, in Taunton, Massachusetts, said last week’s
storm and this week’s weather system aren’t comparable.
“It’s going to be completely different,” Correia said.
“There’s going to be a lot more snow over a wider area.”
The NWS said the Mid-Atlantic states will likely see some
precipitation starting late Tuesday and continuing through
Thursday. A winter storm watch has been issued for north-
ern New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley and Pocono regions of
Pennsylvania.
The storm pounded the Eastern Seaboard with a combina-
tion of gusting winds, rain and snow, and coastal communities
were left to deal with damaging high tide flooding as powerful
waves and churning surf pounded shorelines and beachfront
homes.
NEMAH, Wash. — A man
and woman are being sought
following an especially vio-
lent home-invasion robbery in
the Nemah area of U.S. High-
way 101 early Saturday morn-
ing that resulted in a residence
being shot up and three res-
idents left handcuffed at the
scene.
Pacific County Sheriff Scott
Johnson said the suspects are
considered armed and danger-
ous. They are believed to have
fled south into Oregon.

and is believed to be associ-
ated with one of the suspects.
After the invaders left, one
of the victims managed to get
to a phone and dial 911 at 6:14
a.m. Saturday. Deputies from
both south and north county
responded and were on scene
before 7 a.m. Washington State
Patrol provided assistance.
The assailants are being
sought on an array of charges,
initially including first-de-
gree robbery, first-degree bur-
glary, unlawful imprisonment,
theft of firearms, second-de-
gree assault and second-de-
gree theft.
GOP: Richardson was among the speakers
Continued from Page 1A
Smith’s is one of a spectrum
of opinions about the role of
partisanship and the president
at the conference, about eight
months ahead of the Novem-
ber election, when state legis-
lative races, congressional seats
and the governor’s seat will be
up for grabs.
Meanwhile, the top Repub-
lican in statewide office urged
attendees to identify as Orego-
nians before they identified as
Republicans.
Oregon Secretary of State
Dennis Richardson told confer-
ence attendees in a speech Sat-
urday morning that their iden-
tity as Oregonians should come
before their identity as Republi-
cans if they wanted their party
to win.
Richardson speaks from
experience: In 2016, he was the
first Republican to win state-
wide office since 2002, besting
Democrat Brad Avakian, the
state’s labor commissioner.
“I would not be here unless
I got Democratic votes, Green
Party votes, Independent Party
of Oregon votes, Working Fam-
ily Party votes and votes from
nonaffiliated
Oregonians,”
Richardson said. “And why?
Because they wanted to elect
somebody who would keep his
promise to do that which was
best for our state. I said when
I was elected you wouldn’t be
able to tell if there was an ‘R’
or a ‘D’ behind my name, and I
hope that you can see that I’ve
tried to live up to that.”
Smith, the gubernato-
rial candidate, also argues that
Republicans can win statewide
elections by homing on issues
that voters in Portland care
about, such as health care, edu-
cation and homelessness.
State Rep. Knute Buehler,
R-Bend, who is also jostling for
the governor’s mansion, also
criticized focusing too much on
the White House: He claimed in
a speech that while he was solv-
ing local problems in the Leg-
islature, Democratic Gov. Kate
Brown was “fixated on divisive
national politics.”
The Saturday-night head-
liner was former Trump cam-
paign adviser and self-styled
provocateur Roger Stone, who
gave a speech touting what he
believes to be the accomplish-
ments of the president and con-
demning Democrats.
He is a controversial fig-
ure who remains in the national
limelight for his ties to Trump.
Stone has also lobbied on
Trump’s behalf on Capitol Hill
and says he urged the New York
real estate tycoon to run for
president in 1988. Stone got his
start in national politics working
on Richard Nixon’s Committee
To Re-Elect The President.
Stone claimed Trump
brought
African-American
employment to the lowest level
on record, said the president is
committed to free trade, and
celebrated the contributions of
alternative right-wing media
outlets and social media to
Trump’s campaign.
“The rise of a vibrant, robust
alternative media, the rise of
social media, Twitter, Facebook
and so on, is what allowed for
the election of an outsider can-
didate who the mainstream
media sought to destroy,” Stone
said.
Stone also warned of what
he described as a “tech left”
that he believes seeks to cen-
sor right-wing perspectives on
social media platforms.
The Atlantic reported last
week that Stone had corre-
sponded directly with radi-
cal-transparency organization
WikiLeaks, which is suspected
to have ties to Russia, before
the 2016 election. The maga-
zine reported Stone had said
under oath he’d corresponded
with Wikileaks through an
“intermediary.”
Stone, who on Saturday
dismissed what he called “the
Russian collusion delusion,”
told the magazine he pro-
vided the full exchange to the
House Intelligence Committee,
which is investigating whether
the Trump campaign coordi-
nated with Russia to undermine
Trump’s Democratic opponent,
Hillary Clinton.
The main speaker Friday,
Fox News commentator, author
and radio host Kevin Jackson,
likewise praised the president
and lambasted “leftists.”
“What a world you people
created on Nov. 8, 2016,” Jack-
son said, referring to the day
Trump was elected president, to
applause. “I’ll never forget the
look on those sissies’ faces.”
He disparaged feminists,
prioritized the rights of Amer-
ican citizens first and “human
beings second,” and criticized
the study of the humanities and
social justice in the nation’s
colleges.
“I’m done with feminists,”
he said.
The chairwoman of the
Democratic Party of Oregon,
Jeanne Atkins, said in a state-
ment earlier this week that the
choice of speakers for the con-
ference was “appalling.”
“Republicans are increas-
ingly out of touch with voters
and their promotion of speakers
who are known for hate speech
and public deceit is frighten-
ing,” Atkins said.
Greg Astley, president of
the conference, defended the
choice of speakers such as Jack-
son and Stone and said that the
Dorchester Conference was a
“big tent.”
The value of the conference,
he said, was that Oregonians
from across the state could
interact face to face with prom-
inent figures, recalling how,
attending the conference at 14,
he met former Gov. Vic Atiyeh.
If attendees disagreed with
a speaker’s views, they could
go talk to them directly or ask
questions, Astley said.
“If we shut down all that
kind of conversation, I don’t
think we’ll be any better than
the progressive far left,” Ast-
ley said.

laboration between EO Media
Group and Pamplin Media
Group.

businesses that shut down,
from life preservers to the tools
of cobblers.
“It was interesting how Asto-
ria sort of has come and gone in
waves,” Vaughn said. “In 1911,
Astoria was the second largest
city in Oregon. A century later,
it’s certainly not anymore.”

Once the suspects gained
access to the interior of the
house, they handcuffed the one
male and two female residents,
and proceeded to ransack the
dwelling. They took rifles and
a “significant amount of valu-
ables,” the sheriff said. None
of the victims was injured,
which the sheriff said was sur-
prisingly fortunate considering
the number of rounds fired by
the invaders.
The assailants’ vehicle was
described by one of the vic-
tims as a dark-colored hatch-

together a show on natural
resources in Clatsop County, a
new permanent exhibit at the
heritage museum. The exhibit
will look at historic logging,
fishing and farming, connect-
ing to present-day business and
the increased focus on tourism.
“We’ve done a good job
preserving the past,” she said.
“But what is considered the
past is ever-evolving, so we
are … looking beyond the Fla-
vels. What’s happened else-
where in this community? How
can we have a more expansive
and knowledgeable idea of our
shared past?”
