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.

participate.
“I said bye bye, ok?”
Trump said.
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

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

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.
Trump’s declaration was

The real estate mogul had
threatened repeatedly to
boycott debates before, only
to ultimately acquiesce.

publicly, Trump assured
that even if he goes through
with his plan not to show up
Thursday, his absence will
be the center of attention.
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

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. So far,
only Martin O’Malley has
said he’ll participate.
Sanders, in an Associated
Press interview Tuesday,

“If I’m the candidate best

was scared of Kelly, telling
supporters that skipping the
debate was like refusing a

famous rejoinder from the
“The Apprentice.”
There was drama on the
Democratic side as well.
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.”

Clinton had been soaking
in presidential praise. In a

may prove to be a turning
point for the world’s most
valuable company.
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.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— The U.S. government
is beginning research into
a possible vaccine for the
mosquito-borne Zika virus
that is suspected of causing
an unusual birth defect as it
spreads in Latin America.
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
