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.

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.

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.

CRESWELL (AP) — Residents
in Creswell, Oregon, have voted
to maintain a ban on recreational
marijuana sales.
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.

PORTLAND (AP) — A man
who prosecutors say killed an
Oregon man with a machete in
the driveway of a home was given
concurrent sentences at a state
hospital and prison.
The Oregonian/OregonLive
reports 42-year-old Erik Meiser
was sentenced Tuesday in an
Oregon City courtroom to life
in prison with a minimum of 25
years and up to 20 years under
the supervision of the state’s
Psychiatric Security Review Board.
Meiser, who is diagnosed
with schizophrenia, will begin
his sentence in the state hospital.
Prosecutors say that if he is
released, he will then be sent to
prison.
Investigators work at the scene of an alleged homicide, Wednes-
day in Lookingglass. Authorities arrested a 16-year-old boy ac-
cused of fatally shooting three people in southwest Oregon.

Meiser was convicted of murder

Meiser also was found guilty
except for insanity of first-degree

Portland Police Bureau says police
have informed the families of the
discovery in case the bodies turn
out to be their loved ones.
The bodies were 80 feet off a
trail that’s a 10-minute walk from
the truck.
Autopsies could take several
days because of a backlog of
cases at the Oregon State Medical
Examiner’s Office.
