NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Page 2A Thursday, November 9, 2017 Trump says he and Xi can solve ‘probably all’ world problems By JONATHAN LEMIRE and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping partici- pate in a welcome ceremo- ny at the Great Hall of the People, Thursday, in Beijing, China. BEIJING — President Donald Trump emerged from a lengthy meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday to declare that he believed he and Xi together can solve “probably all” the world’s problems. “I look forward to many years of success and friendship working together to solve not only our problems, but world problems, and problems of great danger and security,” Trump said between meetings at the Great Hall of the People. “I believe we can solve almost all of them, and probably all of them.” Trump and Xi were discussing a series of thorny issues during Trump’s second day in China, including China’s willingness to put the squeeze on North Korea over its nuclear weapons program, and the U.S.-China trade relationship. AP Photo/ Andrew Harnik Trump projected confi- dence on both fronts. He said both he and Xi believe “a solution” exists on North Korea. And he said the countries’ trade relationship — which he complained had gotten “so far out of kilter” — would be made “fair and it’ll be tremendous for both of us.” Xi, meanwhile, said U.S.-China relations were at a “new historic starting point.” He said China was willing to work with the U.S. “with mutual respect, seeking mutual benefits, to focus on cooperation and control our differences.” Before the meetings, China rolled out the red carpet for Trump, treating him to an elaborate welcome ceremony on the plaza outside the Great Hall of the People before the leaders turned to their private talks. Trump looked on approv- ingly as a Chinese honor guard played the national largest yet, banned imports of its textiles and prohibited new work permits for over- seas North Korean laborers. It also restricted exports of some petroleum products. Trump’s words drew a caustic response from North Korean state media, which issued a statement Wednesday saying the U.S. should “oust the lunatic old man from power” and withdraw its “hostile policy” toward Pyongyang “in order to get rid of the abyss of doom.” White House officials said Trump would under- score his public messages about North Korea during his private talks with Xi. China is North Korea’s largest trading partner and Trump is expected to demand that the nation curtail its dealings with Pyongyang and expel North Korean workers from its borders. Trump has praised China for taking some steps against Pyong- yang, but he wants them to do more. anthems of both countries, cannons boomed and soldiers marched. He clapped and smiled as children waving U.S. and Chinese flags and flowers screamed and jumped wildly. Before arriving in China, Trump had delivered a stern message to Beijing, using an address to the National Assembly in South Korea to call on nations to confront the North. “All responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea,” Trump said. “You cannot support, you cannot supply, you cannot accept.” He called on “every nation, including China and Russia,” to fully implement U.N. Security Council reso- lutions against North Korea enforcing sanctions aimed at depriving its government of revenue for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The latest measure, adopted after a September atomic test explosion, the North’s NORTHWEST BRIEFLY PORTLAND (AP) — A 16-year-old boy shot and killed his foster mother and two siblings at a home in southwest Oregon, authorities said Wednesday. The boy surrendered to deputies without incident Tuesday night and was booked into a juvenile detention facility on charges of aggravated murder. He was being held without bail. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and relatives of the teenager did not return phone messages from The Associated Press, but court papers filed Wednesday provide some details about what happened at the home in Lookingglass, an unincorporated community southwest of Roseburg. Robert Adams, the boy’s foster father, called emergency dispatchers shortly before 9 p.m. to report that his foster son killed his family. When deputies arrived, the boy told them the gun was inside the house, Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Merrifield wrote in a probable cause affidavit. When investigators entered the house, they found three bodies. Robert Adams identified them to police as his wife, Donya Adams, Michael Sullivan/The News-Review via AP 55; daughter, Amory Adams, 26; and foster daughter, 10-year-old Payshience “Tia” Adams. Police: Two bodies found in Portland park in search for teen PORTLAND (AP) — Police searching for a 15-year-old runaway girl found two bodies in a forested park in Portland but can’t confirm the identities of the bodies until autopsies are completed. Authorities say Annieka Vaughan ran away with 23-year-old Zachary Petersen on Oct. 30. Petersen, of Pasco, Washington, was believed to be armed and suicidal. Petersen’s truck was found in a gravel lot in Forest Park on Monday and Annieka’s backpack was inside. Sgt.

The Register-Guard reports a marijuana startup based in the southern Lane County community pushed for the initiative that brought a second vote on recreational marijuana sales. Voters last November narrowly approved a ban. This time, it was a landslide. Unofficial results from Tuesday’s election show more than 80 percent of voters opting to keep the ban in place.
