President Donald Trump, right, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, third left, hold their summit talk at Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea, Thursday, Oct. 30
Xi and Trump find temporary truce as China plays longer game
BEIJING — Donald Trump came away from his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping full of bombastic optimism.He called it a "great success" and rated it 12, on a scale of 1 to 10. China was less enthusiastic. Beijing's initial statement sounds like an instruction manual, with Xi urging teams on both sides to "follow up as soon as possible".Trump is after a deal that could happen "pretty soon", while Beijing, it appears, wants to keep talking because it's playing the long game.There was a more detailed second Chinese statement that echoed what Trump had said on board Air Force One.Among other things, the US would lower tariffs on Chinese imports, and China would suspend controls on the export of rare earths, critical minerals without which you cannot make smartphones, electric...

Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders votes in the Dutch national election, in The Hague, Netherlands, October 29
Dutch far right loses ground, opening door for centrist coalition talks
AMSTERDAM — The next Dutch government looks likely to exclude the far right and could be led by a gay prime minister after an election in which Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam Freedom Party lost ground and support surged for the centrist D66, according to a Reuters report.With 98% of votes counted from Wednesday’s election, D66 and Wilders’ PVV were tied early on Thursday, with both projected to take 26 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.All major mainstream parties have ruled out governing with Wilders after he brought down the last coalition, which was led by his own party. This leaves him no viable path to a majority.Cheers and chants of “Yes, we can” broke out at the D66’s election-night celebration as a crowd waved Dutch flags.“We’ve shown not only to the...

Hurricane Melissa leaves a trail of devastation after tearing through the Caribbean
HAVANA — Hurricane Melissa brought devastation and death to the Caribbean as it tore through the region as one of the most powerful Atlantic storms in more than 150 years.The storm’s forceful winds unleashed widespread destruction, killing at least 30 people – though its true toll is yet to become clear, with authorities still assessing the number of casualties.The storm was the strongest hurricane on record to hit Jamaica, where it knocked power out for most of the country.In the Caribbean, hotter-than-average waters paired with minimally disruptive winds higher in the atmosphere to create the perfect fuel and prime conditions for Melissa to strengthen.Melissa rapidly intensified, jumping from a 70 mph tropical storm on Saturday morning to a 140 mph Category 4 hurricane Sunday...
