WORLD IN BRIEF
are based on stolen technology, violate China’s
market-opening commitments and might erode
American industrial leadership.
American companies and trading partners
including the European Union and Japan have
longstanding complaints about Chinese market
barriers and industrial policy. But they object to
Trump’s tactics and warn the dispute could chill
global economic growth and undermine interna-
tional trade regulation.

Russia blames Israel
for plane shot down
by Syrian missile
MOSCOW — A Russian reconnaissance air-
craft was shot down by a Syrian missile over
the Mediterranean Sea, killing all 15 people on
board, the Russian Defense Ministry said today.
It blamed Israel for the crash, saying the plane
was caught in the crossfire as four Israeli fighters
attacked targets in northwestern Syria.
The Russian military said the Il-20 electronic
intelligence plane was hit 22 miles offshore late
Monday as it was returning to its home base
nearby, and that the Israeli pilots were using the
Russian aircraft as a shield.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu
called his Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Lieber-
man, later Tuesday to say that Israel is “fully to
blame” for the deaths, the ministry said.
The military said Israel did not warn it of its
operation over Latakia province until one min-
ute before the strike, which did not give the Rus-
sian plane enough time to escape.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, however,
struck a reconciliatory note Tuesday, blam-
ing the shooting down on “a chain of tragic cir-
cumstances.” He said the Russian response will
focus on boosting security for its troops in Syria.
The Israeli military said in a statement Tues-
day that its jets were already within Israeli air-
space when the downing occurred. Israel offered
condolences for the deaths of the Russian troops
but said it holds the Syrian government “fully
responsible.” It also blamed Iran and Hezbol-
lah for what it described as an “unfortunate
incident.”
For several years, Israel and Russia have
maintained a special hotline to prevent their
air forces from clashing in the skies over Syria.
Israeli military officials have previously praised
its effectiveness.

Flood victims get food and water;
rain spreads toward the Northeast
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Stranded by Florence’s epic floods days after the hurricane hit
North Carolina, Wilmington residents lined up by the hundreds today for free food, water and
tarps, while officials managed to open a second route into the surrounded city.
The death toll from the storm rose to at least 34 in three states, with 26 fatalities in North
Carolina, as Florence’s remnants brought downpours to the heavily populated Northeast, trig-
gering flooding in New Hampshire and New York state. A tornado warning was issued near
Salem, Massachusetts.
Four days after Florence blew ashore and began unloading more than 2 feet of rain that par-
alyzed much of North Carolina, officials encouraged evacuees to stay away until conditions
improve.
Items have been brought into the city by big military trucks and helicopters, which also
have been used to pluck hundreds of desperate people from atop homes and other structures.
The dead include a 1-year-old boy who was swept away after his mother drove into flood-
waters and lost her grip on him. Authorities in Virginia said one person was dead after an appar-
ent tornado.
Utility crews from multiple states worked to restore power, and outages were down from a
high of more than 900,000 to about 320,000 homes and businesses, nearly all in North Carolina.
Trade war escalates
as China slaps tariffs
on US imports
BEIJING — The U.S.-China trade war esca-
lated further today, with China announcing retal-
iatory tax increases on $60 billion worth of U.S.
imports, including coffee, honey and industrial
chemicals.
The increases are in response to the U.S.
announcing it will impose tariffs on $200 bil-
lion worth of Chinese-made goods starting next
week. The tariffs will start at 10 percent, then
rise to 25 percent on Jan. 1.
China’s Finance Ministry said its tariff
increases are aimed at curbing “trade friction”
and the “unilateralism and protectionism of the
United States.”
The two countries have already imposed
import taxes on $50 billion worth of each oth-
er’s goods. President Donald Trump threatened
to add an additional $267 billion in Chinese
imports to the target list if China retaliated for
the latest U.S. taxes. That would raise the total
affected by U.S. penalties to $517 billion, cover-
ing nearly everything China sells to the United
States.
The American Chamber of Commerce
in China warned Tuesday that Washington
is underestimating Beijing’s determination
to fight back.
“The downward spiral that we have pre-
viously warned about now seems certain to
materialize,” said William Zarit, the chamber’s
chairman.
At the root of the trade war are U.S. com-
plaints about China’s plans to try to overtake
U.S. technological supremacy. Those plans
include “Made in China 2025,” which calls for
creating powerful Chinese entities to compete in
robotics and other fields. The U.S. says the plans
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
declassified a trove of documents related to the
early days of the FBI’s Russia investigation,
including a portion of a secret surveillance war-
rant application and former FBI Director James
Comey’s text messages.
Trump made the extraordinary move Mon-
day in response to calls from his allies in Con-
gress who say they believe the Russia investiga-
tion was tainted by anti-Trump bias within the
ranks of the FBI and the Justice Department.
It also came as Trump continued his efforts to
undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s
probe after the guilty plea of his former cam-
paign chairman Paul Manafort and amid the
ongoing grand jury investigation into a longtime
associate, Roger Stone.
Trump’s decision will result in the release of
text messages and documents involving several
top Justice Department and FBI officials who
Trump has repeatedly attacked over the last year.
The president tweeted today on the move,
quoting a supportive congressman and adding:
“Really bad things were happening, but they are
now being exposed. Big stuff!”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders announced Trump’s decision in a writ-
ten statement, saying the president had directed
the Office of the Director of National Intelli-
gence and the Justice Department to declas-
sify the documents “at the request of a number
of committees of Congress, and for reasons of
transparency.” It was unclear how soon the doc-
uments would be released.
In statements Monday evening, the Jus-
tice Department and the office of Director of
National Intelligence Dan Coats said they are
working together to comply with Trump’s order,
which triggers a declassification review by var-
ious agencies “to seek to ensure the safety of
America’s national security interests.” That
review is ongoing.
Democrats criticized the effort, saying the
GOP lawmakers were trying to discredit the Jus-
tice Department in an effort to protect Trump
from Mueller’s investigation.
Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking
Democrat on the House intelligence commit-
tee, called Trump’s decision a “clear abuse of
power” intended to advance a “false narrative”
to help in his defense from Mueller’s probe.
