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.

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-

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. Seven are pregnant.
honest” and “weak.”
The attack on a longtime ally and its leader
drew sharp criticism. 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.
