Internment camp survivor to share story
MISSION — A Portland man, whose family was sent
to Minidoka Relocation Center in Idaho during World
War II, will share about his experiences at Tamástslikt
Cultural Institute.
George Nakata, who made a November presentation
at Tamástslikt, is returning for a Pepsi Primetime @
the Museum program. Experiences in an American
Concentration Camp is Monday from 6-8 p.m. at the
museum, which is located near Wildhorse Resort &
Casino in Mission. Refreshments will be served.
Nakata was a 9-year-old American citizen living with
his family in northwest Portland at the time of the attack
at Pearl Harbor. Thousands of Japanese-Americans were
forced to give up their belongings and sent to American
internment camps. The sites in Utah, Arizona, Idaho and
California were surrounded by barbed wire and manned
by armed guards.

TRUMP: It’s unclear how other countries will react
Continued from 1A
IONE — A semi-trailer crash Wednesday morning
near Ione killed several cattle, according to Oregon State
Police.
The Kenworth tractor was heading north on Highway
74 with a trailer full of cattle. Driver Frank Halvorsen,
67, of Ione, tried to turn left onto McNab Lane but lost
control. The truck and trailer rolled onto the passenger
side, resulting in the death of approximately 10 cattle.
Halvorsen was treated for minor injuries.
State police responded, along with the Morrow
County Sheriff’s Office and local fire and ambulance
services.
50s
Now, faced with political
consequences of the action,
Trump appears to be recon-
sidering.
“Last year, the president
kept his promise to end
the TPP deal negotiated by
the Obama Administration
because it was unfair to Amer-
ican workers and farmers,” the
White House said in a state-
ment. The president assigned
his top trade advisers, U.S.
Trade Representative Robert
Lighthizer and his new chief
economic adviser, Larry
Kudlow, “to take another look
at whether or not a better deal
could be negotiated.”
Trump first disclosed
his request Thursday to a
group of lawmakers at a
White House meeting on
trade. Lawmakers have been
pressing Trump to shift course
after escalating trade threats,
including China’s plan to slap
tariffs on soybeans and other
U.S. crops.
The apparent decision
comes after the 11 other TPP
countries went ahead last
month and signed the pact in
Santiago, Chile — without
the United States. The agree-
ment is meant to establish
freer trade in the Asia-Pacific
region and put pressure on
China to open its markets to
compete with and perhaps
eventually join the bloc.
It was not immediately
clear
how
committed
Trump was to embarking
on a new path of potentially
thorny negotiations. Trump
frequently equivocates on
policy when faced with oppo-
sition, only to reverse course
later.
“I’m sure there are lots of
particulars that they’d want
to negotiate, but the president
multiple times reaffirmed in
general to all of us and looked
right at Larry Kudlow and
said, ‘Larry, go get it done,’”
said Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.,
who attended the meeting.
The president has mused
publicly about rejoining the

net Room of the White House Thursday in Washington.
deal before, suggesting he
would re-enter if he could
negotiate more favorable
terms. He has not said
precisely what provisions he
would want changed.
It’s unclear how willing the
other 11 countries would be
to reopen the agreement and
make concessions to lure the
United States back, though its
economic power would likely
be an appeal.
“If the Trump administra-
tion doesn’t pose too many
demands, it is likely that the
other TPP members will see
the value of the bringing
the U.S. back into the fold,”
said Eswar Prasad, Cornell
University professor of trade
policy. “Undoubtedly, a TPP
that includes the U.S. would
be stronger and more formi-
dable than one that does not.”
Lawmakers on Capitol
Hill have been renewing their
pitches for TPP — rather
than Trump’s threats of steep
tariffs on steel and other
products — as a way to
counter China on trade. Sen
Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was
among a handful of senators
who recently visited China
to meet with government and
business leaders there. He
said it’s time to work with a
coalition of trading partners to
increase pressure on China.
“I have to believe Pres-
ident Xi is smiling all the
way to regional domination

as a result of our pulling out
of TPP. I don’t think we can
get back into the TPP soon
enough,” Johnson said when
talking to reporters about the
trip.
Meanwhile, administra-
tion officials are escalating
their pressure campaign
against China. Kudlow said
last week the U.S. may soon
release a list of products that
would be subject to the new
tariffs Trump has threatened
to slap on $100 billion in
Chinese goods. And the U.S.
Treasury is working on plans
to restrict Chinese technology
investments in the United
States.
Public Citizen’s Global
Trade Watch, which was
highly critical of U.S.
involvement in a pact it
viewed as lowering labor and
environmental standards, said
Trump’s reversal on the issue
would signal that the pres-
ident “cannot be trusted on
anything,” said Lori Wallach,
the group’s director.
The U.S. International
Trade Commission, an inde-
pendent federal agency, has
projected in 2016 that TPP
would increase economic
growth and create jobs, but
the gains would be small:
After 15 years, the deal would
add just 128,000 jobs, an
increase of less than a tenth
of 1 percent. Exports would
increase, but imports would
increase more. Agriculture
and the business services
industry would see gains, but
manufacturing output and
employment would decrease
slightly under TPP.
In the meeting with farm
state lawmakers, Trump also
suggested the possibility of
directing the Environmental
Protection Agency to allow
year-round sales of renewable
fuel with blends of 15 percent
ethanol.
The EPA currently bans
the 15-percent blend, called
E15, during the summer
because of concerns that it
contributes to smog on hot
days. Gasoline typically
contains 10 percent ethanol.
Farm state lawmakers have
pushed for greater sales of the
higher ethanol blend to boost
demand for the corn-based
fuel.
North
Dakota
Gov.
Doug Burgum said Trump
made some “pretty positive
statements” about allowing
the year-round use of E-15
ethanol, which could help
corn growers.
