7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 11, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF by targeting people who haven’t cast ballots in a while, a case that has drawn attention amid stark partisan divisions and the approach of the 2018 elections. By a 5-4 vote that split the conservative and liberal justices, the court rejected arguments in a case from Ohio that the practice violates a federal law intended to increase the ranks of registered voters. A handful of other states also use voters’ inactivity to trigger a process that could lead to their removal from the voting rolls. Justice Samuel Alito said for the court that Ohio is complying with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. He was joined by his four con- servative colleagues. The four liberal justices dissented. Partisan fights over ballot access are being fought across the country. Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to suppress votes from minorities and poorer people who tend to vote for Democrats. Republicans have argued that they are trying to promote ballot integrity and prevent voter fraud. Justice Stephen Breyer, writing in dissent, said the 1993 law prohibits removing someone from the voting rolls “by reason of the person’s fail- ure to vote. In my view, Ohio’s program does just that.” In a separate dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Congress enacted the voter registration law “against the backdrop of substantial efforts by states to disenfranchise low-income and minority voters.” The court’s decision essentially endorses “the very purging that Congress expressly sought to protect against,” Sotomayor wrote. Associated Press Trump to leave Korea summit early — after meeting with Kim SINGAPORE — In the latest twist in the dra- ma-filled nuclear talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, President Donald Trump announced on the eve of their historic meeting that he will be leaving Singapore early because the nuclear negotiations have moved “more quickly than expected.” That was before the two had even met, and it was not clear whether it was good news or not. No details were given on any possible progress in preliminary talks between aides at the talks. And the abrupt change in schedule came shortly after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had seemed to lower expectations for the meeting, which Trump had earlier predicted could poten- tially yield an on-the-spot end to the Korean War. Instead, Pompeo suggested the summit, while historic, might yield little in the way of concrete success other than to pave the way for more meet- ings in the future. The White House said the summit was to kick off at 9 a.m. Tuesday. After greeting each other — an image sure to be devoured around the world — the two leaders planned to sit for a one-on- one meeting that a U.S. official said could last up to two hours, with only translators joining them. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the plans and insisted on anonymity. On the day before the meeting, weeks of preparation appeared to pick up the pace, with U.S. and North Korean officials meeting through- out Monday at a Singapore hotel. Trump spoke only briefly in public, forecast- ing a “nice” outcome for the summit during a meeting with Singapore’s prime minister. Kim spent the day mostly out of view — until he left his hotel for a late-night tour of Singapore sights, including the Flower Dome, billed as the world’s biggest glass greenhouse. Trump takes more swipes at Canada after G-7 summit WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump took more swipes at Canada and its prime minis- ter over trade issues as he settled in for a summit with North Korea in Singapore, contending that “Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal.” Trump roiled the weekend Group of Seven meeting of industrialized nations in Canada by agreeing to a group statement on trade, only to withdraw from it while flying to Asia. He com- plained that he had been blindsided by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s criticism of his tariff threats at a summit-ending news confer- ence. In tweets, Trump insulted Trudeau as “dis- Kenny Karpov/SOS Mediterranee Migrants prepare to board SOS Mediterranee’s Aquarius ship and in the Mediterranean Sea. Spain offers to take migrant ship amid Italy-Malta standoff ROME — Spain stepped up today and offered to take in a rescue ship carrying more than 600 migrants after Italy and Malta refused. The diplomatic standoff left the migrants stranded in the Mediterranean Sea and revealed the brass-knuckled negotiating tactics of Italy’s new anti-immigrant government. Italy and Malta quickly thanked Spain’s new Socialist prime minister for the offer to receive aid group SOS Mediterranee’s ship at the port of Valencia. But it wasn’t certain if the voyage was feasible given the distance and how long the rescue vessel had been at sea. The Aquarius was more than 750 nautical miles from Valencia today and said it had received no instructions yet to head to Spain. “It means that we need at least two more days of sailing, which is not possible today with 629 people on board,” SOS Mediterranee Maritime Operations Manager Antoine Laurent said. The U.N. refugee agency, the European Union, Germany and humanitarian groups had all demanded that the Mediterranean countries put their domestic politics aside and urgently con- sider the plight of the 629 migrants, among them more than 100 children, pregnant women and people suffering from hypothermia. Doctors Without Borders, which has staff aboard the Aquarius, said the rescued migrants were stable for now but that food and water on the ship would run out by tonight. It said some of the passengers were suffering from water in their lungs as well as chemical burns caused when gasoline mixes with seawater.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who also attended the summit, told Ger- man public television that she found Trump’s tweet disavowing the G-7 statement “sobering” and “a little depressing.” She also said the Euro- pean Union would “act” against the U.S. trade measures. Unbowed, Trump tweeted anew this morning from Singapore, repeating his criticism of U.S. trade policies with Canada — he also took aim at Germany — in a multitweet rant. At one point he wrote, “Justin acts hurt when called out!” Yet his top diplomat, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, downplayed the severity of the rift. Addressing reporters in Singapore ahead of Trump’s summit Tuesday with North Korean Pope begins purge in Chilean church over sex abuse scandal leader Kim Jong Un, Pompeo said he was “unconcerned” that Trump’s treatment of Canada — a close ally — boded poorly for his ability to forge peace with a longtime U.S. adversary. Still, other Trump advisers had taken up the attack in appearances on Sunday’s news shows, leveling more withering and unprecedented criti- cism against Trudeau, branding him a back-stab- ber unworthy of Trump’s time. Supreme Court allows Ohio, other state voter purges WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled today that states can clean up their voting rolls VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis began purging Chile’s Catholic hierarchy today over an avalanche of sex abuse and cover-up cases, start- ing with accepting the resignations of the bishop at the center of the scandal and two others. More heads were expected to roll, given that the scandal has only grown in the weeks since all of Chile’s 30-plus active bishops offered to quit over their collective guilt in failing to protect Chile’s children from priests who raped, groped and molested them. A Vatican statement said Francis had accepted the resignations of Bishop Juan Barros of Osorno, Bishop Gonzalo Duarte of Valparaiso and Bishop Cristian Caro of Puerto Montt. He named a tem- porary leader for each diocese. Barros, 61, has been at the center of Chile’s growing scandal ever since Francis appointed him bishop of Osorno in 2015 over the objections of the local faithful, his own sex abuse prevention advisers and some of Chile’s other bishops. They questioned Barros’ suitability to lead given he had been a top lieutenant of Chile’s most notorious predator priest and had been accused by victims of witnessing and ignoring their abuse by that priest.
