News Wrap: Trump warns he may cancel GM subsidies


Judy Woodruff:

To the day's other news now.

President Trump
warning that he is considering eliminating
all federal subsidies
for General Motors.

The threat, on Twitter,
followed
GM's plans
to close plants
in three states
and stop building
its hybrid electric Volt model.

At the White House,
economic adviser Larry Kudlow
said
the president
feels betrayed.

Larry Kudlow:

There's disappointment
that it seems like
GM would rather build
its electric cars
in China,
rather than
in the United States.

We are going to be looking
at certain subsidies
regarding electric cars and others
and whether they should apply or not.

I can't say
anything final
about that,
but we're looking into
it.

Judy Woodruff:

GM
defended
itself
in a statement,
saying
that it acted to ensure
long-term success.

The company
also said
that it will give
affected workers
a chance to move to jobs
at other plants.

There are new questions tonight
about a federal detention center [구금]
for migrant teenagers
in West Texas.

It was established
in June
and quickly expanded
to more than 2,300 children.

The Associated Press reports
that, in a bid to keep up,
officials
dropped
the use of strict FBI background checks
for staffers, [직원]
including screenings
for child abuse.

The nonprofit group managing the shelter
says
it is exceptionally well-run.

In Afghanistan,
three American soldiers
were killed today,
the deadliest such attack
in 17 months.

Officials said
a roadside bomb
went off
near the eastern city of Ghazni
as the troops were carrying out
raids [습격]
with Afghan soldiers.

The Taliban
claimed
responsibility.

Tensions
stayed high
today
between Russia and Ukraine
over a naval confrontation
on Sunday.

Moscow
issued
new warnings
to Kiev,
and it refused
to return
three Ukrainian naval vessels
and two dozen crewmen.

Foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin
reports.

Nick Schifrin:

In Russian-annexed Crimea,
masked soldiers
paraded
Ukrainian sailors in,
and then quickly out,
of a Russian-controlled court.

And those same Ukrainian sailors
were paraded
on Russian TV,
seemingly confessing
to entering Russian territorial waters
illegally,
a "crime" for which they
will be detained [구금하다]
for two months.

It's only been two days
since their boats were fired on
by Russian ships
as they sailed south away
from the Crimean Peninsula's Kerch Strait,
which both countries are legally allowed
to use under a 2003 agreement.

For four-and-a-half years,

Ukraine and Russia

have been fighting.

 

A Moscow-backed insurgency [반란]

in Eastern Ukraine

has killed

at least 10,000 people

and kept Ukraine's government off-balance.

 

But this is

the first attack

Russia hasn't denied.

Now Ukraine's firing back

with intercepted Russian communications

it says prove

the crisis was manufactured

by Russian leaders.

 

A Russian captain

says to another Russian captain

— quote —

"We should assault them.

 

We have to destroy them.

 

Medvedev is

in panic.

 

It seems that

the president is controlling

all that."

Medvedev

likely refers

to Gennady Medvedev,

head of the Russian intelligence service's

border service office

in Crimea.

 

But, today,

Moscow

stood firm

in blaming Ukraine.

 

It warned

that Kiev's decision yesterday

to impose martial law

would lead to a surge

in fighting in the pro-Russian rebel-held areas

of Eastern Ukraine.

And Russia

accused

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko

of playing politics

ahead of a March 2019 election.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev:

Dmitry Medvedev (through translator):

This martial law

allows for the authorities

to flex their muscles

a little bit

and boost their support

amongst the population.

Nick Schifrin:

But much of the world today

supported

Ukraine.

 

Poland's president

called for retaliatory sanctions [retaliatory 보복적인]

against Moscow.

Andrzej Duda (through translator):

There is no doubt

that Russia is an aggressor

and it is not the first time

there is a violation of the agreements

between Russia and Ukraine

regarding navigation.

Nick Schifrin:

European countries

are now considering

helping the Ukrainian navy,

an effort State Department spokesperson

Heather Nauert

encouraged.

Heather Nauert:

One of the things

that we would like

to see take place

is our European allies

doing more to assist Ukraine.

Nick Schifrin:

But the U.S.

has to help lead

that response.

And, tonight,

President Trump

threatened to cancel

his planned meeting

later this week

with Russian President Vladimir Putin,

saying — quote —

"I don't like

that aggression at all."

Judy Woodruff:

In Northeastern Australia,

firefighters today

fought

a major wildfire,

fueled by record November heat,

in the triple digits.

 

Crews in Queensland state

have battled 40-mile-an hour winds

that fanned flames

across nearly 50,000 acres

since Saturday.

 

Tomorrow

could be worse still,

with temperatures of 104 degrees.

Katarina Carroll:

The end of the week

is looking pretty horrendous,

from our point of view.

 

It is a heat wave

across most of the state,

particularly from the central

to the northern part of the state,

unprecedented temperatures,

unprecedented weather.

We

talked earlier

about really this is uncharted waters.

 

We

don't expect

this

at this time of the year.

Judy Woodruff:

The fire

has destroyed

four homes,

and hundreds of people

have been forced

to flee its advance.

Trial opened

in Chicago today

for three current and former policemen

accused of a cover-up

after a white officer

killed a black teenager.

 

Laquan McDonald

was shot

16 times

in October of 2014.

 

Last month,

another former officer,

Jason Van Dyke,

was convicted

of second-degree murder

in the killing.

NASA

has gotten

more good news

from its InSight probe

on the surface of Mars.

 

Overnight,

the spacecraft

opened

its solar wings

and began

charging batteries,

a vital step

in starting its mission.

 

InSight

also sent

a new photograph,

showing part of the probe

and the landscape around it.

 

It

will spend

the next two years digging

into the Martian surface

to study the planet's interior.

On Wall Street today,

stocks

made up

a bit more ground.

 

The Dow Jones industrial average

gained

108 points to close at 24748.

 

The Nasdaq

rose

a fraction of a point,

and the S&P 500 added eight.

And the man who created

the wildly popular "SpongeBob SquarePants" cartoon series

has died.

 

Stephen Hillenburg

suffered from the muscle-wasting disease ALS.

 

SpongeBob and his oceanic friends

debuted

in 1999

and have run

for nearly 250 episodes.

 

Along the way,

the series also

spun off

a Broadway musical

and two movies.

Stephen Hillenburg was 57 years old.
