5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Complaint: Migrant parents coerced by officials Associated Press US, China raise tariffs in new round of trade dispute BEIJING — The United States and China went ahead with tariff hikes on billions of dollars of each other’s automobiles, factory machinery and other goods today in an escala- tion of a battle over Beijing’s technology pol- icy that companies worry will chill global eco- nomic growth. The increases came as envoys met in Wash- ington for their first high-level talks in two months. They gave no sign of progress toward a settlement of U.S. complaints that Beijing steals technology and its industry development plans violate Chinese free-trade commitments. The 25 percent duties, previously announced, apply to $16 billion of goods from each side including automobiles and metal scrap from the United States and Chinese-made factory machinery and electronic components. In the first round of tariff hikes, President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent duties on $34 billion of Chinese imports on July 6. Bei- jing responded with similar penalties on the same amount of American goods. The Chinese government criticized today’s U.S. increase as a violation of World Trade Organization rules and said it would file a legal challenge. Beijing has rejected U.S. demands to scale back plans for state-led technology develop- ment that its trading partners say violate its market-opening commitments. American offi- cials worry they might erode the United States’ industrial leadership. With no settlement in sight, economists warn the conflict could spread and knock up to 0.5 percentage points off global economic growth through 2020. The pressure on Chinese export industries that support millions of jobs adds to challenges for Communist leaders who are trying to shore up slowing economic growth. Manafort juror says 1 holdout prevented 18-count conviction WASHINGTON — A juror in Paul Manafort’s financial fraud trial says a lone holdout prevented the jury from convicting the onetime Trump campaign chairman on all 18 counts. Jurors repeatedly tried to persuade the hold- out to “look at the paper trail” but she insisted there was reasonable doubt, juror Paula Duncan told Fox News. “We didn’t want it to be hung, so we tried for an extended period of time to convince her,” Duncan said, adding that the four days of delib- erations were so heated that there were “tears” among the 12 jurors. “But in the end, she held out and that’s why we have 10 counts that did not get a verdict.” The federal jury on Tuesday found Manafort guilty on eight counts; the judge declared a mis- trial on 10 counts the jury was deadlocked on.

Leaker of secret report on Russian hacking gets 5 years AUGUSTA, Ga. — A former government contractor who pleaded guilty to mailing a clas- sified U.S. report to a news organization was sentenced to more than five years in prison today as part of a deal with prosecutors, who called it the longest sentence ever imposed for a federal crime involving leaks to the media. Reality Winner, 26, pleaded guilty in June to a single count of transmitting national secu- rity information. The former Air Force translator worked as a contractor at a National Security Agency’s office in Augusta, Georgia, when she printed a classified report and left the building with it tucked into her pantyhose. Winner told the FBI she mailed the document to an online news outlet. Authorities never identified the news organization. But the Justice Department announced Winner’s June 2017 arrest the same day The Intercept reported on a secret NSA document. It detailed Russian government efforts to penetrate a Florida-based supplier of voting software and the accounts of election officials ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The NSA report was dated May 5, the same as the document Winner had leaked. U.S. intelligence agencies later confirmed Russian meddling. U.S. Attorney Bobby Christine said Winner’s leak harmed national security by revealing “sources and methods” that impaired U.S. efforts to gather similar information.

Hurricane Lane was forecast to continue its northwest turn into the islands today, which would make it the most powerful storm to hit Hawaii since Hurricane Iniki in 1992. Officials opened shelters on the Big Island and on the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai on Wednesday. They urged those needing the Molokai shelter to get there soon because of con- cerns the main highway on the south coast of the island could become impassable. On the island of Oahu, which was put on a hurricane warning late Wednesday, shelters were scheduled to open today. Officials were also working to help Hawaii’s sizeable homeless pop- ulation, many of whom live near beaches and streams that could flood. Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Administrator Tom Travis said there’s not enough shelter space statewide and advised those who not in flood zones to stay home. Officials warned the limited shelter space should be a “last resort” and that the shelters are not designed to withstand winds greater than about 40 mph. The central Pacific gets fewer hurricanes than other regions, with about only four or five named storms a year. Hawaii rarely gets hit. SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A She said the president’s administration did come up during deliberations because of testimony that Manafort had tried to secure a White House position for a banker who authorized millions of dollars in loans for him and had lobbied Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. Duncan also said she would have liked to have heard more from Manafort’s defense. Manafort did not testify at trial and his lawyers conducted mostly limited questioning of the government’s witnesses. a red “Make America Great Again” hat, said she and 10 other jurors were prepared to find Manafort guilty of each count in the indict- ment. Duncan said she considered the charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to be legitimate and considered the evi- dence “overwhelming.” “I did not want Paul Manafort to be guilty, but he was,” Duncan said. “And no one is above the law.” She said neither positive nor negative senti- ments about Trump influenced the decision. PHOENIX — U.S. immigration authorities coerced dozens of parents separated from their children at the border to sign documents they did not understand, according to a complaint expected to be filed today. In some of the cases, parents gave away rights to be reunited with their children when the non-English speaking mothers and fathers signed documents in English they could not read, the complaint said. In other cases, parents who had been reunited were threatened with another separation if they didn’t agree to be deported with their children, the complaint said. The complaint will be filed with the Depart- ment of Homeland Security by the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Amer- ican Immigration Council, who say attorneys spoke with 76 parents who said they were asked to sign forms affecting their rights to reunify with their children. All of them said they weren’t allowed to ask what would happen if they signed the form. The U.S. government separated more than 2,500 children from their parents this year as the Trump administration adopted a “zero-tolerance” policy requiring anyone who crossed the border illegally to be prosecuted. That resulted in par- ents who had to go to federal court to face crim- inal misdemeanor charges of illegal entry to be separated from their children, often for months. The policy ignited a worldwide furor and Trump eventually reversed course.
