Trump orders
huge tariffs
on China, raises
trade war worries
BRIEFLY
House OKs $1.3 trillion
budget bill, Senate stalls
By KEN THOMAS AND PAUL WISEMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Primed for
economic combat, President Donald
Trump set in motion tariffs on as much
as $60 billion in Chinese imports to the
U.S. on Thursday and accused the Chinese
of high-tech thievery, picking a fight that
could push the global heavyweights into a
trade war.
China threatened retaliation, and
Wall Street cringed, recording one of the
biggest drops of Trump’s presidency. But
he declared the U.S. would emerge “much
stronger, much richer.”
It was the boldest example to date
of Trump’s “America first” agenda, the
culmination of his longstanding view that
weak U.S. trade policies and enforcement
have hollowed out the nation’s workforce
and ballooned the federal deficit. Two
weeks ago, with fanfare, he announced
major penalty tariffs on steel and aluminum
imports that he said threatened national
security.
However, even as Trump was talking
tough at the White House, his adminis-
tration moved to soften the sting of the
metal tariffs, telling Congress on Thursday
that the European Union, Australia, South
Korea and other nations would join Canada
and Mexico in gaining an initial exemption.
And that raised questions about whether
his actions will match his rhetoric.
China responded early Friday by
announcing a list of U.S. goods, including
pork, apples and steel pipe, it said may be
hit with higher import duties.
The Commerce Ministry said the
higher U.S. tariffs “seriously undermine”
the global trading system. The ministry
urged the U.S. “to resolve the concerns of
the Chinese side as soon as possible,” and
appealed for dialogue “to avoid damage to
overall Chinese-U.S. cooperation.”
At home, investors on Wall Street
showed their rising concern about retalia-
tion and business-stifling cost increases for
companies and consumers. The Dow Jones
industrials plunged 724 points.
Trump himself, joined by supportive
business executives, complained bitterly
about the nation’s trade deficit and accused
China of stealing America’s prized tech-
nology.
“Any way you look at it, it is the largest
deficit of any country in the history of our
world. It’s out of control,” Trump said of
the U.S-China imbalance.

Trump is replacing national
security adviser in shakeup
H.R. McMaster out,

WASHINGTON — Charging ahead with
the dramatic remaking of his White House,
President Donald Trump said Thursday he
would replace national security adviser H.R.
McMaster with the former U.N. Ambassador
John Bolton, a foreign policy hawk entering
a White House facing key decisions on Iran
and North Korea.
After weeks of speculation about
McMaster’s future, Trump and the respected
three-star general put a positive face on
the departure, making no reference to the
growing public friction between them. Trump
tweeted Thursday that McMaster had done
“an outstanding job & will always remain my
friend.” He said Bolton will take over April
9 as his third national security adviser in just
over a year.
The national security shakeup comes
as the president is increasingly shedding
advisers who once eased the Republican
establishment’s concerns about the foreign
policy and political novice in the White
House. McMaster is the sixth close adviser
or aide to announce a departure in a turbulent
six weeks, joining ally Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson, who was unceremoniously fired
last week.
The White House has said the president
is seeking to put new foreign policy leaders
in place ahead of not-yet-scheduled meeting
with North Korean leader Kim Jung Un.
Bolton is likely to add a hard-line influence
to those talks, as well as deliberations over
whether to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal.
The White House said Thursday that
McMaster’s exit had been under discussion
for some time and stressed it was not due
to any one incident, including this week’s
stunning leak about Trump’s recent phone
call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
McMaster had briefed Trump before the
Putin call — and his team drafted all-caps
instructions telling Trump not to congratulate
the Russian leader on his re-election victory.
Trump did it anyway.
An internal investigation into the leak
is underway, said a White House official
who — like others interviewed about the
announcement and the White House shakeup
— demanded anonymity to discuss internal
matters.
In a statement released by the White
House, McMaster said he would be requesting
retirement from the U.S. Army effective this
summer, adding that afterward he “will leave
public service.”
McMaster had told confidants he would
leave the post if at any point he lost credi-
bility on the international stage, according
to three White House officials. The feverish
speculation about an impending exit sped up
the decision for him to depart, the officials
said, in part because McMaster believed
foreign partners were beginning to doubt his
influence.
WASHINGTON — Congress was
poised to pass a giant $1.3 trillion
spending bill that would end the budget
battles for now, but not without risking
another shutdown as conservatives
objected to big outlays on Democratic
priorities at a time when Republicans
control the House, Senate and White
House.
This would be the third federal
shutdown this year, an outcome both
parties want to avoid. But in crafting a
sweeping deal that busts budget caps,
they’ve stirred conservative opposition
and set the contours for the next funding
fight ahead of the midterm election.
The House easily approved the
measure Thursday, 256-167, a bipartisan
tally that underscored the popularity
of the compromise, which funds the
government through September. It beefs
up military and domestic programs,
delivering federal funds to every corner of
the country.
But action stalled in the Senate, as
conservatives ran the clock in protest.
They can’t stop the bill indefinitely. But
without agreement, voting would spill
into the weekend, past the midnight
Friday deadline to fund the government.
Playboy model says Trump
tried to pay her after sex
LOS ANGELES — A former Playboy
model apologized to First Lady Melania
Trump for a 10-month affair she claims
she had with President Donald Trump that
started with him offering her money after
the first time they had sex.
Karen McDougal said Thursday in an
interview with CNN she refused to take
the money in 2006 and told him, “I’m not
that kind of girl.”
McDougal detailed the relationship
and said she traveled to Trump properties
in New York, California and New Jersey.
Asked what she would say to Melania
Trump, McDougal said: “What can you
say except, I’m sorry?”
Legal shake-up on Trump
team may suggest shift
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump’s lead lawyer in the special
counsel’s Russia investigation resigned
Thursday, shaking up the legal team just
as Trump intensifies attacks on an inquiry
he calls nothing more than a witch hunt.
The departure of attorney John Dowd
removes the primary negotiator and legal
strategist who had been molding Trump’s
defense.
