WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. special representative for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, will meet with Chinese, Russian and European Union diplomats on Afghanistan on Thursday as he tries to forge a peace deal with the Taliban to bring an end to America’s longest war.

“Discussion topics include international support for the Afghan peace process, the role each party can play in bringing an end to the war, and progress to date in peace talks,” the State Department said in a statement.

The meeting at the State Department will include Zamir Kabulov, Russia’s presidential envoy to Afghanistan; Deng Xijun, his Chinese counterpart; and Roland Kobia, the EU’s special envoy.

Khalilzad will brief them on his recent talks in Doha, Qatar, with the Taliban, where the United States reported progress but no final deal on a withdrawal of U.S.-led international forces.

The Taliban rejects direct negotiations with the Kabul government led by President Ashraf Ghani, accusing it of being a U.S. puppet.

U.S. negotiators are pressing the Taliban to accept a ceasefire and talks on Afghanistan’s political future with representatives of Afghan society, including Ghani’s government. But the talks have primarily focused on the Taliban’s counter-terrorism assurances and a U.S. troop withdrawal.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) – A group of South American leaders signed a declaration to create a regional bloc of nations they say is open to any country, regardless of ideology, to collaborate on solving regional problems.

Presidents from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru attended the summit in Santiago. Chile and Colombia had led the push for the new political grouping after criticism that the previous regional bloc, called Unasur, failed to take action on Venezuela.

Matt Towery: The One Thing Trump Should Do to Lock Up His Re-Election

Why bury my lead? Here’s my advice to the president: “Leave New York for Florida. Make Florida your state of residence, and you’ll go on to win re-election in 2020.”

I’d like to think I have some standing to offer the president a bit of council. In December 2014, I penned a column titled “Why Trump Should Run.”

I wrote: “The elite media will scoff at a potential Donald Trump candidacy for president. They will consider it a publicity move and a bluff. The Washington insiders will write off Trump as completely unqualified to be a presidential candidate, much less president. And as usual, they will be wrong.”

The day before the 2016 elections, I appeared on major Fox affiliates and also with Newsmax. I knew the polls were flawed, and said so. I declared Donald Trump would carry Florida, North Carolina, and Michigan — and would pull off an amazing upset. And that’s precisely what he did.

Now, as we look forward to 2020, the question is: Can he do it again? The same useless polling that botched 2016 suggests it highly improbable. And once again, those polls could be wrong.

Opinion surveys today have so many cell phone interviews, which skew heavily towards younger voters and Democrats, that even the raw numbers can’t be rescued. What we do know is Florida elected a Republican governor and displaced incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson with former Gov. Rick Scott, in a midterm election that heavily favored Democrats. And Democratic voter registration numbers in Florida are on the decline.

I’ve polled Florida as much as anyone over the years. When a Florida poll says global warming is the No. 1 issue in a state where residents are still terrified of another Great Recession, I know it’s off. It’s jobs and the economy in this state.

To be sure, Florida’s demographics are in flux. The state has seen a massive influx of Puerto Rican voters in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Traditionally, those who leave “the Commonwealth” tend to vote Democrat.

Another factor to keep in mind: The socialist turmoil in Venezuela. There are about 200,000 people of Venezuelan heritage in Florida, and you’ll notice President Trump, Gov. DeSantis, Sen. Scott, and Sen. Marco Rubio are all decrying socialism every chance they get. With the rise of the socialist strain in the Democratic Party, make no mistake this issue resonates powerfully both among those who hail from Venezuela, as well as with Cuban-Americans — who comprise about 6 percent of the Florida electorate.

How all that will play out in 2020 remains to be seen. But this much is clear: To win in 2020, President Trump needs a base of operations from which he can branch out in attempting to win other potentially razor-tight states like Georgia, North Carolina, and possibly Virginia. Why do that in New York, where Democrats are putting every facet of his life under a microscope, when he spends most of his free time at the historic Mar-a- Lago resort on Palm Beach island in Florida anyway? 

What’s rarely reported by the media is that each time President Trump arrives at his home in Palm Beach, spontaneous groups of supporters waving American flags and holding pro-Trump banners line the roads there. Where I live in Tampa, it’s not unusual to see boats cruising on Tampa Bay with large flags that declare “Trump 2020.” The same is true in many parts of the state.

So why stick around in New York, a city that sent Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress, and that’s indifferent to Amazon’s 25,000 jobs.

Of course, the New York-centric mainstream media would howl about it. I’m pretty sure Trump could hardly care less.

Trump has derided the nanny state tax-and-spend ways of New York’s current leadership. He proudly notes that these large liberal cities are losing residents every day. So, why not join the exodus? Do what New York’s other septuagenarians do: Head south to Florida, it will drive your enemies bonkers.

Florida, mind you, has never had a native son elected president. As a “true” Floridian, Trump would be able to identify with a state where his leadership is appreciated. Moreover, his “home state” status would probably help him with Florida voters. Even if that edge was just an extra 5,000 votes, Florida is a state where a 5,000-vote margin can be considered a landslide.

Can Trump change his residency? As an attorney who has dealt with such issues in the past, my short answer is yes. I would suggest that as commander-in-chief, the guideline used for troops stationed abroad would apply to the president anyway — and Trump could easily meet them.

Of course, the blowback from Democrats and the media would be strong, but none of it would matter. Trump has the right to live wherever he wants. The Trump Organization would still be in New York, so the on-going investigations and harassment could continue unabated. It would just be easier for Trump to ignore it. Instead of going to “his Mar-a-Lago retreat,” Trump would be simply commuting home each week. From there, it would be a quick dash to visit supporters throughout South Florida at a moment’s notice on weekends.

If he’s lucky, his critics would label it a tax dodge. Florida, after all, has no state taxes.

Trump’s best comeback: “I don’t need a tax break. But I can’t in good conscience support tax-and-spend cities and states that prefer to elect socialists.”

That alone would send a message not only to Floridians, but to other hinterland states as well. His message: “I’m one of you, and I’m practicing what I preach.”

Making such a bold move could put Trump over the top in 2020. I’m convinced that the polls still do not properly reflect his political strength, and I believe he will be re-elected either way.

But to the president, I say: Why not go where your heart is?

President Trump, your new home state awaits you.

North Carolina woman allegedly taken from her home, being ‘held against her will,’ police say

A North Carolina woman is being “held against her will” after she was seen being dragged through her front yard Thursday morning, police said.

Rosalino Duarte-Cruz, 37, is feared to have taken Lauren Hall, 20, from her home “against her will,” the Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at Hall’s home and believe she was dragged through her yard and into a car, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The two are believed to have been in a relationship before the reported domestic incident.

Duarte-Cruz is wanted for kidnapping and assault, according to FOX 46 Charlotte.

Police said he might be driving a 2016 Chevy Camaro LT with a North Carolina license plate number TPD-8339. Authorities believe he could be in Winston-Salem or Yadkinville.

Wreckage of missing Japan’s F-35 fighter jet found, pilot remains missing

The wreckage of the Japanese F-35 stealth fighter jet that disappeared from radar over the Pacific Ocean during a night training flight was found in the sea on Wednesday.

The Japanese defense ministry said the male pilot, who’s in his 40s, remains missing.

The fighter jet went off the radar while flying off the eastern coast of Aomori, just about half an hour after taking off the Misawa air base with three other F-35As.

AIR FORCE: F-35A FIGHTER JET IS NOW 'COMBAT READY'

It remains unclear why caused the crash, Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya told reporters, adding that 12 other F-35s at the base will be grounded.

“We have collected parts from the jet fighter's tail fin so we [believe] it crashed,” Iwaya said, according to the BBC.

“We have collected parts from the jet fighter's tail fin so we [believe] it crashed.”

— Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya

The U.S. military supported the Japanese allies in the search of the jet and the pilot. The U.S. Navy’s 7th fleet, P-8A maritime patrol aircraft, and a guided-missile destroyer are continuing to assist Japanese-led search and rescue efforts for the pilot.

MISSING JAPANESE F-35 POSES MAJOR SECURITY HEADACHE FOR US IF IT FALLS INTO RUSSIAN OR CHINESE HANDS

Some have warned that the crashed jet could have caused major security concern had the wreckage been first discovered by China or Russia, both of which long hoped to get their hands on the state-of-the-art military technology produced by the U.S.

Iwaya said that the pilot sent a signal to abort the mission, according to the broadcaster. Shortly after the signal, all communications with the fighter jet were lost.

Japanese military began deploying the U.S.-made F-35s since last year in an effort to ramp up defense spending amid threats from North Korea and China.

The government of Japan is also seeking to 147 F-35s, including 105 F-35As, costing about $90 million each.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The World Bank told Reuters on Friday that its executive board unanimously approved David Malpass, the U.S. Treasury Department’s top diplomat, as the bank’s next president, continuing the 73-year tradition of an American leading the development lender.

Malpass, the Treasury’s undersecretary for international affairs who advised U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, was the sole candidate for the job. He will start his new role next week, during the World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings, a bank spokesman said.

Tiger, McIlroy winners of their opening rounds at WGC-Match Play

PGA: WGC - Dell Technologies Match Play - First Round

March 28, 2019

(Reuters) – Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were among the winners in the opening round of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play on Wednesday with both former world number ones taking the chance to fine tune their games ahead of the upcoming Masters.

Woods fell behind fellow American Aaron Wise through 10 holes but battled back to seal the win when the 22-year-old missed a short putt on the 17th, handing the four-times Masters champion a 3 and 1 victory.

The 43-year-old, however, was less than thrilled with his performance on the first of five days action at the sun-soaked day at the Austin Country Club.

“We were both struggling a little bit,” Woods said.

“If this was a strokeplay event we’d be pretty far behind. You just try to beat the guy in front of you and I was able to advance.”

McIlroy had an easier time as the Players Championship winner continued his hot form to rout long-driving American Luke List 5 and 4.

The Northern Irishman, who won the tournament under a different format in 2015, birdied his last two holes to finish List off with authority.

“I rode my luck a little bit and I hit some good shots,” he said.

“Luke would admit he didn’t play his best stuff but I played well.”

American Jordan Spieth, trying to play his way out of a slump, was two holes down with three remaining but managed back-to-back birdies to halve his match with compatriot Billy Horschel.

Afterwards, the 2015 Masters champion said it felt like a win.

“To birdie the last two holes is really big for me right now as I’m looking to gain confidence under pressure and test some of the stuff I’ve been working on,” Spieth said.

“In this matchplay format it feels like you’re battling to win a golf tournament on a Saturday or Sunday. So it was really cool to hit some clutch shots and pull off the tie.”

In other first round action, Kevin Na edged defending champion Bubba Watson, world number one Dustin Johnson crushed Chez Reavie and reigning Masters champion Patrick Reed fell to Andrew Putnam.

In a change in format this year, the 64 players have been divided into 16 groups of four.

Everyone plays everyone else in their group over the first three days, after which the player with the best record in each group advances to the 16-man knockout phase over the weekend.

Woods and McIlroy will face off in the round-of-16 on Saturday if they win their respective groups.

MONTREAL/OTTAWA (Reuters) – Rising waters were prompting further evacuations in central Canada on Thursday, with the mayor of the country’s capital, Ottawa, declaring a state of emergency and Quebec authorities warning that a hydroelectric dam was at risk of breaking.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared the emergency in response to rising water levels along the Ottawa River and weather forecasts that called for significant rainfall on Friday.

In a statement on Twitter, Watson asked for help from the Ontario provincial government and the country’s military.

He warned that “flood levels are currently forecasted to exceed the levels that caused significant damage to numerous properties in the city of Ottawa in 2017.”

Spring flooding had killed one person and forced more than 900 people from their homes in Canada’s Quebec province as of 1 p.m. on Thursday, according to a government website.

Ottawa has received 80 requests for service related to potential flooding such as sandbagging, a city spokeswoman said.

The prospect of more rain over the next 24 to 48 hours triggered concerns on Thursday that the hydroelectric dam at Bell Falls in the western part of Quebec could be at risk of failing because of rising water levels.

Quebec’s provincial police said 250 people were protectively removed from homes in the area as of late afternoon in case the dam on the Rouge River breaks.

The dam is now at its full flow capacity of 980 cubic meters per second of water, said Francis Labbé, a spokesman for the province’s state-owned utility, Hydro Quebec. He said Hydro Quebec expected the flow could rise to 1,200 cubic meters per second of water over the next two days.

“We have to take the worst-case scenario into consideration, since we`re already at the maximum capacity,” Labbé said by phone.

The dam is part of a power station that no longer produces electricity, but is regularly inspected by Hydro Quebec, he said.

(Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures were flat on Friday, as investors paused ahead of GDP data, which is expected to show the world’s largest economy maintained a moderate pace of growth in the first quarter.

Gross domestic product probably increased at a 2% annualized rate in the quarter as a burst in exports, strong inventory stockpiling and government investment in public construction projects offset a slowdown in consumer and business spending, according to a Reuters survey of economists.

The Commerce Department report will be published at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The GDP data comes as investors look for fresh catalysts to push the markets higher. The S&P 500 index is about 0.5% below its record high hit in late September, after surging nearly 17% this year.

First-quarter earnings have been largely upbeat, with nearly 78% of the 178 companies that have reported so far surpassing earnings estimates, according to Refinitiv data.

Wall Street now expects S&P 500 earnings to be in line with the year-ago quarter, a sharp improvement from the 2.3% fall expected at the start of April.

Amazon.com Inc rose 0.9% in premarket trading after the e-commerce giant reported quarterly profit that doubled and beat estimates on soaring demand for its cloud and ad services.

Ford Motor Co shares surged 8.5% after the automaker posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings largely due to strong pickup truck sales in its core U.S. market.

Mattel Inc jumped 8% after the toymaker beat analysts’ estimates for quarterly revenue, as a more diverse range of Barbie dolls powered sales in the United States.

At 6:52 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 35 points, or 0.13%. S&P 500 e-minis were down 1.5 points, or 0.05% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 10.75 points, or 0.14%.

Among decliners, Intel Corp slumped 7.7% after it cut its full-year revenue forecast and missed quarterly sales estimate for its key data center business.

Rival Advanced Micro Devices declined 0.8%.

Oil majors Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp are expected to report results later in the day.

WARSAW (Reuters) – Germany could owe Poland more than $850 billion in reparations for damages it incurred during World War Two and the brutal Nazi occupation, a senior ruling party lawmaker said.

Some six million Poles, including three million Polish Jews, were killed during the war and Warsaw was razed to the ground following a 1944 uprising in which about 200,000 civilians died.

Germany, one of Poland’s biggest trade partners and a fellow member of the European Union and NATO, says all financial claims linked to World War Two have been settled.

The right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) has revived calls for compensation since it took power in 2015 and has made the promotion of Poland’s wartime victimhood a central plank of its appeal to nationalism.

PiS has yet to make an official demand for reparations but its combative stance towards Germany has strained relations.

“Poland lost not only millions of its citizens but it was also destroyed in an unusually brutal way,” Arkadiusz Mularczyk, who heads the Polish parliamentary committee on reparations, told Reuters in an interview.

“Many (victims) are still alive and feel deeply wronged.”

His comments come a month before European Parliament elections in which populist and nationalist parties are expected to do well. Poland will also hold national elections later this year, with PiS still well ahead of its rivals in opinion polls.

EU LARGESSE

Mularczyk said the reparations figure could amount to more than 10 times the estimated 100 billion euros ($111 billion) that Poland has received so far in European Union funds since it joined the bloc in 2004.

Germany is the biggest net donor to the EU budget and some Germans regard its contributions as generous compensation to recipient countries like Poland which suffered under Nazi rule.

In 1953 Poland’s then-communist rulers relinquished all claims to war reparations under pressure from the Soviet Union, which wanted to free East Germany, also a Soviet satellite, from any liabilities. PiS says that agreement is invalid because Poland was unable to negotiate fair compensation.

Mularczyk said his committee hoped to complete its report on the reparations issue by Sept. 1, the 80th anniversary of Hitler’s invasion.

Accusing Berlin of playing “diplomatic games” over the issue, he said: “The matter is being swept under the rug (by Germany) … until it’ll be wiped from the memory, from people’s awareness.”

His comments come after the Greek parliament voted this month to seek billions of euros in German reparations for the Nazi occupation of their country.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States did not pay any money to North Korea as it sought the release of comatose American student Otto Warmbier.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump had approved payment of a $2 million bill from North Korea to cover its care of the college student, who died shortly after he was returned to the United States after 17 months in a North Korean prison.

Al-Qaida in Yemen is vowing to avenge beheadings carried out by Saudi Arabia this week — an indication that some of the 37 Saudis executed on terrorism-related charges were members of the Sunni militant group.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the branch is called, posted a statement on militant-linked websites on Friday, accusing the kingdom of offering the blood of the “noble children of the nation just to appease America.”

The statement says al-Qaida will “never forget about their blood and we will avenge them.”

U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday executed 37 suspects convicted on terrorism-related charges. Most were believed to be Shiites but at least one was believed to be a Sunni militant.

His body was pinned to a pole in public as a warning to others.
