Mr. Carvalho, the superintend- ent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, made his announcement before his school board in Miami, leading to cheers in the packed meeting room and fury and confu- sion in New York City. “I am breaking an agreement,” Mr. Carvalho said. “I shall remain in Miami-Dade as your superin- tendent.” His words came during a special board meeting that turned into a three-and-a-half- hour exhibition of supporters beg- ging him to stay. Mr. Carvalho began with a speech tantalizing the crowd with hints he might leave, then inter- rupted his remarks to speak pri- vately by telephone with Mayor de Blasio before coming back and delivering the news.

Putin of Russia threat- ened the West with a new genera- tion of nuclear weapons Thursday, including what he described as an “invincible” intercontinental cruise missile and a nuclear tor- pedo that could outsmart all American defenses. The presentation by Mr. Putin, which included animation videos depicting multiple warheads aimed at Florida, where President Trump often stays at his Mar-a- Lago resort, sharply escalated the military invective in the tense re- lationship between the United States and Russia, which has led to predictions of a costly new nu- clear arms race. While Mr. Putin may have been bluffing about these weapons, as some experts suggested, he clev- erly focused on a vulnerability of American-designed defenses: They are based on the assumption that enemy nuclear missiles fly high and can be destroyed well be- fore they reach their targets. The new class of Russian weap- ons, he said, travel low, stealthily, far and fast — too fast for defend- ers to react. Mr. Putin’s announcement, in his annual state of the nation ad- dress, seemed intended chiefly to stir the patriotic passions of Rus- sians at a moment when he is heading into a re-election cam- paign, even though his victory is assured in what amounts to a one- candidate race. He also used the speech to re- assure Russians that the military buildup was taking place even as the government was spending big sums to improve the quality of their lives. But the main attention grabber in the speech was the weapons, which Mr. Putin described as a re- sponse to what he called the repu- diation of arms control by the United States and its plans for a major weapons buildup. The Trump administration has said that countering the world’s two other superpowers, Russia and China, was becoming its No. 1 national security mission, ahead of counterterrorism.

ALEXANDER ZEMLIANICHENKO/ASSOCIATED PRESS Continued on Page A9 WASHINGTON — Early in his term, Attorney General Jeff Ses- sions instructed his top investiga- tive deputies to target the trans- national gang MS-13 as a priority. A year later, drug task forces have new powers to fight MS-13, more federal prosecutors are pursuing charges against the street gang with ties to El Salvador and for- eign allies have been enlisted to capture its members. Few dispute the violent menace that MS-13 is to pockets across the United States. Its members wield machetes, kill with abandon and terrorize — for the most part in immigrant communities. But law enforcement officials at local, state and federal levels de- scribe the Trump administration’s hard-charging campaign against MS-13 as out of proportion with the threat. President Trump has seized on the gang’s brutality and violence to symbolize the risks of illegal im- migration. Not all members of MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, are illegal im- migrants. Nor does the gang sur- vive on the global trafficking of drugs, guns or people. Police and prosecutors in areas where MS-13 is most active said the heightened focus on the gang has come at the expense of fight- ing more widespread threats to the United States, particularly opioids and human trafficking. At a meeting with Mr. Sessions last March, Chuck Rosenberg, then the acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said it made little sense to focus on MS-13 over more dangerous orga- nizations.

PAGE A16 Senators Confront Speaker WASHINGTON — For 13 months in the Oval Office, and in an unorthodox business career before that, Donald J. Trump has thrived on chaos, using it as an or- ganizing principle and even a management tool. Now the costs of that chaos are becoming starkly clear in the demoralized staff and policy disarray of a wayward White House. The dysfunction was on vivid display on Thursday in the presi- dent’s introduction of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The previous day, Mr. Trump’s chief economic adviser, Gary D. Cohn, warned the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, that he might resign if the president went ahead with the plan, according to people briefed on the discussion. Mr. Cohn, a for- mer Goldman Sachs president, had lobbied fiercely against the measures. His threat to leave came during a tumultuous week in which Mr. Trump suffered the departure of his closest aide, Hope Hicks, and the effective demotion of his sen- ior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was stripped of his top-secret security clearance. Mr. Trump was forced to deny, through an aide, that he was about to fire his national security advis- er, Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster. Mr. Kelly summed up the pre- vailing mood in the West Wing. “God punished me,” he joked of his move from the Department of Homeland Security to the White House during a discussion to mark the department’s 15th anni- versary. When White House aides ar- rived at work on Thursday, they had no clear idea of what Mr. Trump would say about trade. He had summoned steel and alu- minum executives to a meeting, but when the White House said only that he would listen to their Chaos Theory In Oval Office Is Taking a Toll By MARK LANDLER and MAGGIE HABERMAN Continued on Page A15 WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Thursday that he would impose stiff tariffs on im- ports of steel and aluminum, ma- king good on a key campaign promise and rattling stock mar- kets as the prospect of a global trade fight appeared imminent. In a hastily arranged meeting with industry executives that stunned many inside the West Wing, Mr. Trump said he would formally sign the trade measures next week and promised they would be in effect “for a long peri- od of time.” The action, which came against the wishes of Mr. Trump’s pro-trade advisers, would impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on alu- minum, effectively placing a tax on every foreign shipment of those metals into the United States. The president told more than a dozen executives that he wanted the tariffs to apply to all countries, one executive in attendance said. Mr. Trump argued that if one country was exempt, all other countries would line up to ask for similar treatment, and that metals could end up being shipped to the United States through exempted countries. Mr. Trump’s authority to im- pose such sweeping tariffs stems from a Commerce Department in- vestigation that concluded last month that imported metal threat- ened national security by degrad- ing the American industrial base. The administration has said it wants to combat cheap metals flooding into the United States, particularly from China, but a broad set of tariffs would fall most heavily on allies, especially Cana- da, which supplies steel and alu- minum to American companies as well as the military. “People have no idea how badly our country has been treated by other countries,” Mr. Trump said on Thursday. “They’ve destroyed the steel industry, they’ve de- stroyed the aluminum industry, and other industries, frankly.” “We’re bringing it all back,” he added. Stocks fell in response to the po- tential tariffs, with declines in the industrial sector outpacing the overall market. The Standard & Poor’s 500 industrial sector was down 1.9 percent, compared with a decline of about 1.3 percent in the overall benchmark index.
