5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Bomb found at philanthropist Soros’ suburban home Associated Press Trump vilifies caravan, says he’ll cut Central American aid WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the U.S. will begin cutting aid to three Cen- tral American countries he accused of failing to stop thousands of migrants heading for the U.S. border. But across his administration there was no indication of any action. For hours on Monday, White House offi- cials were unable to provide an explanation for the president’s threats, which reflected both his apparent frustration with the migrant car- avan and his determination to transform it into Republican election gains. Federal agencies said they’d received no guidance on the president’s declaration, issued as he attempts to make ille- gal immigration a focus of next month’s mid- term elections. If Trump should follow through with his threat to end or greatly reduce U.S. aid, that could worsen the poverty and violence that are a root cause of the migration he has been railing against, critics said. Trump tweeted, “Sadly, it looks like Mexi- co’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.” He added without evidence that “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in.” “I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy,” he wrote. “Must change laws!” Associated Press journalists traveling with the caravan for more than a week have spoken with Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans but have not met any of the “Middle Eastern- ers” that Trump claimed had “mixed in” with the Central American migrants. It was clear, though, that more migrants were continuing to join the caravan. Trump’s tweets marked the latest escalation of his efforts to thrust immigration politics into the national conversation in the closing weeks of the congressional elections. He and his senior aides have long believed the issue — which was a centerpiece of his winning presidential cam- paign — is key to revving up his base and moti- vating GOP voters to turn out in November. “Blame the Democrats,” he wrote. “Remem- ber the midterms.” At a campaign rally in Houston on Monday night, he falsely accused Democrats of “encour- aging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our nation.” It is Congress, not the president, that appro- priates aid money. The White House would have to notify Congress if it wanted to cut or reallo- cate aid, which could delay or complicate the process. Kremlin calls treaty exit without new deal offer ‘dangerous’ MOSCOW — The Kremlin said today that President Donald Trump took “a danger- ous position” by deciding to abandon an exist- ing nuclear weapons treaty with Russia without offering anything to replace it.

O’Connor announces likely Alzheimer’s diagnosis WASHINGTON — Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court, announced today that she has the beginning stages of dementia, “probably Alzheimer’s disease.” The 88-year-old said in a public letter that her diagnosis was made some time ago and that as her condition has progressed she is “no longer able to participate in public life.” “While the final chapter of my life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings in my life,” she wrote. She added: “As a young cowgirl from the Arizona desert, I never could have imagined that one day I would become the first woman justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.” Her son, Jay O’Connor, said his mother had begun to have challenges with her short-term memory. He also said hip issues have meant she now primarily uses a wheelchair and stays close to her home in Phoenix. She last spoke in public more than two years ago. O’Connor was a state court judge before being nominated to the Supreme Court in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan, who fulfilled a campaign promise by nominating a woman to the Supreme Court. O’Connor had graduated third in her class from Stanford Law School and was the first woman to lead the Arizona state senate. She was 51 when she was unanimously con- firmed to the high court. On the Supreme Court, her votes were key in cases about abortion, affirmative action and campaign finance as well as the Bush v. Gore decision effectively settling the 2000 election in George W. Bush’s favor. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokes- man acknowledged the 1987 arms control deal had “weak spots.” But Dmitry Peskov warned Washington against withdrawing from the agree- ment without proposing improvements or a sub- stitute treaty. “Right now, we don’t have any prospects whatsoever for a new deal,” Peskov said. “It’s important to figure out if it’s possible or not.” Trump on Monday restated his threat to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty because of alleged Russia vio- lations. He said the United States would start developing the type of ground-launched nuclear cruise and ballistic missiles the treaty banned until “people come to their senses” and then “we’ll all stop.” In Moscow, Peskov said that sacrificing the landmark pact for a hypothetical better deal was “a dangerous position.” The treaty was signed by U.S. President T UESDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM Fierce Hurricane Willa closes in on Mexican resort area MAZATLAN, Mexico — Hurricane Willa roared into a cluster of Mexican islands holding a prison colony and headed for a collision this afternoon with a stretch of the country’s Pacific coast, its 125 mph winds and high waves threat- ening high-rise resorts, surfing beaches and fish- ing villages. Willa briefly reached Category 5 strength on Monday, then weakened to a Category 3. But the U.S. National Hurricane Center warned that it was still likely to bring life-threatening storm surge, wind and rain to parts of western Mexico. The storm battered the Islas Marias, about 60 miles off the mainland, this morning. It was expected to blow ashore in the evening south of Mazatlan, a tourist resort of about 500,000 peo- ple with many U.S. and Canadian expatriates. As Willa closed in, the beach in Mazat- lan almost disappeared, with waves slamming against the coastal boulevard, black clouds looming overhead. A few surfers took advantage of the high waves even as workers boarded up windows on hotels, shops and homes. Schools were closed and the streets nearly empty. SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gor- bachev, prohibiting the U.S. and Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying ground- launched nuclear cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 300 to 3,400 miles. China was not a party to the original agree- ment, and Trump said Monday it should be included in the treaty. U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton is scheduled to meet with Putin in Moscow today. Bolton struck a conciliatory note in his talks with senior Russian officials earlier in the day. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu lauded Bolton for making a two-day visit and said that “even small steps will benefit our rela- tions and help restore trust” between the two countries. He also said that Russia and the U.S. should build up their cooperation in Syria that helped to prevent major incidents in the sky or on the ground. BEDFORD, N.Y. — A bomb was found in a mailbox at the suburban New York compound of George Soros, the liberal billionaire philanthro- pist who has been the target of right-wing con- spiracy theorists, authorities said today. Federal investigators were reviewing sur- veillance video to determine whether the pack- age had been sent through the mail or delivered some other way, officials said, adding it was also not clear if the parcel was addressed to Soros. A security officer at the compound about 50 miles north of Manhattan became suspicious of the package Monday afternoon and placed it in a wooded area before alerting the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, authorities said. Agents came out and safely detonated the device, which con- tained explosive powder. The device resembled a pipe bomb and was inside a package placed in a mailbox outside the gates of the compound. It was opened in a secure location just inside the gates, nowhere near Soros’ quarters. The Bedford Police Department said the FBI’s terrorism task force was investigating. Soros, who made his fortune in hedge funds, frequently donates to liberal causes. Recently, conservative critics have accused him without evidence of secretly financing the caravan of Central American migrants making their way toward the U.S. Soros, who is Jewish, has also been the tar- get of anti-Semitic smears. Some have falsely accused him of being a Nazi collaborator during World War II, when he was a child in Hungary. Activists frequently post on social media the addresses of his homes, sometimes along with threats.
