7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF or not, prosecutors denied his request for more time. Weinstein was charged Friday with raping one woman and committing a criminal sex act by compelling oral sex from another. A grand jury continued hearing evidence in the case, as it had been doing for weeks. Freed on $1 million bail and electronic mon- itoring, he is due back in court July 30, though that date may now be moved up in light of the indictment. Beyond the two women involved in the case, dozens more women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct ranging from harassment to assault in various locales. Associated Press Trump planning tariffs on European steel, aluminum WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum imports after failing to win concessions from the Euro- pean Union, a move that could provoke retal- iatory tariffs and inflame trans-Atlantic trade tensions. The tariffs are likely to go into effect on the EU with an announcement by Friday’s dead- line, according to two people familiar with the discussions. The administration’s plans could change if the two sides are able to reach a last-minute agreement. Trump announced in March the United States would slap a 25 percent tariff on imported steel, and a 10 percent tariff on imported alu- minum, citing national security interests. But he granted an exemption to the EU and other U.S. allies; that reprieve expires Friday. Europe has been bracing for the U.S. to place the restrictions even as top European officials have held last-ditch talks in Paris with Ameri- can trade officials to try to avert the tariffs. “Realistically, I do not think we can hope” to avoid either U.S. tariffs or quotas on steel and aluminum, said Cecilia Malmstrom, the European Union’s trade commissioner. Even if the U.S. were to agree to waive the tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, Malmstrom said, “I expect them nonetheless to want to impose some sort of cap on EU exports.” If the U.S. moves forward with its tariffs, the EU has threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. orange juice, peanut butter and other goods in return. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire pledged that the European response would be “united and firm.” Besides the U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs, the Trump administration is also investigating possible limits on foreign cars in the name of national security. Weinstein indicted on rape, criminal sex act charges NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein was indicted on rape and criminal sex act charges, furthering the first criminal case to arise from a slate of sexual misconduct allegations against the former movie mogul. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said Wednesday’s indictment brings Wein- stein “another step closer to accountability” for alleged attacks on two women in New York. Weinstein’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said he would “vigorously defend” against the indictment and ask a court to dismiss it. He Gridlock over: Virginia lawmakers approve Medicaid expansion AP Photo/Seth Wenig Kim Yong Chol, left, one of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s closest aides, shakes hands with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today. US, North Korea wrap up talks aimed at salvaging summit NEW YORK — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korea’s former military intel- ligence chief held high-stakes talks in New York today to try to salvage an on-again, off-again summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump told reporters the talks were going well and that North Korean officials may come to Washington on Friday with a letter from Kim. The discussions wrapped up nearly two hours earlier than expected. There was no immediate indication of what that might mean for the planned first summit between the U.S. and North Korea after six decades of hostility. Pompeo met with Kim Yong Chol, one of the North Korean leader’s closest aides, at the apartment residence of the U.S. deputy ambassador to the United Nations in New York. Kim is the highest-ranking North Korean official to visit the U.S. in 18 years. He and Pompeo had discussions over dinner Wednesday, Pompeo said in an earlier tweet. Pompeo’s talks with Kim Yong Chol — the most critical of three tracks of negotiations cur- rently taking place between the two governments in the U.S., in the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone, and in Singapore — are aimed at determining whether a meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un, originally scheduled for June 12 but later canceled by Trump, can be restored. Kim Jong Un, in a meeting with Russia’s foreign minister today, complained about “U.S. hegemonism,” a comment that may complicate the discussions in New York. North Korea’s flurry of diplomatic activity following a torrid run in nuclear weapons and missile tests in 2017 suggests that Kim is eager for sanctions relief to build his economy and the international legitimacy the summit with Trump would provide. But there are lingering doubts on whether he will ever fully relinquish his nuclear arsenal, which he may see as his only guarantee of survival in a region surrounded by enemies. The U.S. side is pressing its demand for “complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization.” called the allegations “unsupported” and reiter- ated that Weinstein strongly denies them. The indictment came hours after Weinstein’s lawyer said the film producer would decline to testify before the grand jury because there wasn’t enough time to prepare him and “polit- ical pressure” made an indictment unavoidable. Weinstein, 66, learned of the specific charges and the accusers’ identities only after turn- ing himself in Friday, according to his law- yers. Brafman said that with a deadline set for Wednesday afternoon for Weinstein to testify RICHMOND, Va. — The Republican-con- trolled Virginia General Assembly gave final approval Wednesday evening to a state bud- get expanding Medicaid coverage to the state’s poor, ending years of partisan gridlock on the issue. The state Senate voted in favor of expansion after a full day of debate. The House, which had had previously endorsed expansion, gave its final approval shortly afterward. Several Repub- licans in both chambers joined with Democrats to approve the measure. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is expected to sign the budget in coming days, and the roughly 400,000 newly eligible low-income Virginians will begin enrolling in Medicaid at the start of next year. Expanding Medicaid was a key provision of then-President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, and a tally from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows Virginia will become the 33rd state to approve Medicaid expansion. Wednesday’s voting marked the end of a more than four-year battle over whether Vir- ginia should expand the publicly funded health care program for the poor. A fight over Medic- aid expansion led to a standoff over the state budget in 2014 and again this year. Virginia Democrats have argued the state should not pass up the roughly $2 billion in extra federal funding the program would bring to the state. Republicans had previously been near unified in blocking past expansion efforts, saying the long-term costs were unsustainable. A federal-state collaboration originally meant for poor families and severely disabled people, Medicaid has grown to become the larg- est government health insurance program, now covering 1 in 5 people. Last year, Virginia saw its state legislature reshaped by an anti-Trump wave as Demo- crats made unexpectedly large gains in the state House. And a failure by the GOP-led Congress to repeal and replace the health law helped spur several of Virginia’s Republican state legislators to flip positions.
