NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Page 2A Wednesday, January 27, 2016 BRIEFLY Trump pulls out of GOP debate; Sanders to meet with Obama M A R S H A L LT O W N , Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump declared Tuesday he would boycott the last Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses, leading Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to chal- lenge him to a one-on-one debate. Adding intrigue to the Democratic race, the White House said President Barack Obama would host Bernie Sanders for an Oval 2I¿FHPHHWLQJ The dual developments created new ripples of uncertainty six days before voting in the presidential race begins. Both parties were bracing for nail-biting caucuses that will determine which of their two leading candidates will carry the whiff of victory into New Hampshire and beyond. Trump raised the prospect of skipping the debate as he blasted Fox News Channel for “playing games” and including anchor Megyn Kelly as a debate moderator.

The race among Demo- crats was no more settled six days from the leadoff Iowa caucuses, with Sanders and Hillary Clinton locked in a close contest and details about their debate plans XQFOHDU %XW WKH ¿UHZRUNV Tuesday were on the Repub- lican side. Trump said he would hold his own event in Iowa during the debate to raise money for wounded veterans. He dismissed Kelly as a “third-rate reporter” who is bad at her job and had been “toying” with him — reprising a squabble that erupted after a debate Kelly co-hosted last year. Kelly shot back on her nightly show, arguing that Trump is used to getting his way but can’t control the media. She said her network and CEO Roger Ailes had made it clear to Trump for months that they wouldn’t change their moderator line- up. “I’ll be there,” Kelly AP Photo/Paul Sancya said. “The debate will go on with or without Mr. Trump.” Trump’s pullout came after Fox News Channel tweaked the GOP front- runner for asking his Twitter followers whether he should debate. The network, in a sarcastically worded statement, said it had learned from a “secret back channel” that the leaders of Iran and Russia planned to treat Trump unfairly if elected. “A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings,” read the statement from a Fox News Channel repre- sentative.

Cruz, appearing at an evening rally, offered to face Trump “mano a mano” those sessions in advance. Democrats, too, faced fresh uncertainty about their debates — marquee events in the presidential race. Following criticism that the Democratic Party had limited debates to help Clinton, New Hampshire’s largest newspaper and MSNBC said Tuesday they would host an additional debate next week just EHIRUHWKH¿UVWLQWKHQDWLRQ primary. But the Demo- cratic National Committee chairwoman said the party had “no plans” to sanction more debates, and Clinton’s campaign said she’d only participate if the other candidates agree.

As Sanders left Iowa and Minnesota for his meeting with Obama on Wednesday, the meeting was being watched for signs of the president’s leanings. He’s sought to avoid showing favoritism, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the meeting would be informal, with “no formal agenda.” Just a day earlier, Clinton had been soaking in presidential praise.

The tech giant says revenue could fall at least 8.6 percent during the January-March quarter, compared with a year earlier. Analysts say the latest iPhone models aren’t providing the boost Apple needs to match the massive sales growth it enjoyed last year. Apple executives painted the downturn as a momentary hiccup. But they also acknowledged the company is working to broaden its business beyond the iPhone itself, which in recent years has provided the bulk of Apple’s revenue.

Don’t expect protection anytime soon — vaccine development typically takes years. “This is not going to be overnight,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said in an interview Tuesday. But there are vaccines in various stages of development for other viruses in the same family — dengue, West Nile and chikungunya — that offer a pattern for creating something similar against Zika, said Fauci, who directs NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Legal Advertising:$PDQGD-DFREV DMDFREV#HDVWRUHJRQLDQFRP Single copy price: 7XHVGD\WKURXJK)ULGD\6DWXUGD\ Forecast THURSDAY Research begins into vaccine for Zika virus &ODVVLÀHG$GYHUWLVLQJ FODVVL¿HGV#HDVWRUHJRQLDQFRP Copyright © 2016, EO Media Group 51° 38° SEATTLE (AP) — Police say two people have been fatally shot and three RWKHUVZRXQGHGE\JXQ¿UH at a homeless encampment in Seattle.
