ANKARA, Turkey — Turkishvoters gave President RecepTayyip Erdogan a decisive victoryin national elections on Sunday,lengthening his 15-year grip onpower and granting him vastly ex-panded authority over the legisla-ture and the judiciary.

The election was the first to beheld since Turkish voters nar-rowly approved a referendum lastyear to give the president — oncea largely ceremonial role —sweeping executive powers. Mr.Erdogan will also have a pliantParliament, with his conservativeparty and its allies having wonabout 53 percent of the vote in leg-islative elections on Sunday.

Mr. Erdogan has overseen acrackdown on lawyers, judges,civil servants and journalists un-der a state of emergency declaredafter a failed coup two years ago.His critics had portrayed Sun-day’s election as their last chanceto prevent Turkey from becomingan authoritarian state.

The victory has potentiallygrave consequences for coopera-tion within NATO, security in Iraqand Syria, and control of immigra-tion flows into Europe.

Turkey has continued to cooper-ate with its Western partners oncounterterrorism efforts, but Mr.Erdogan has tested the NATO alli-ance by drawing closer to Presi-dent Vladimir V. Putin of Russia,buying an advanced Russian mis-sile defense system and planninga Russian-built nuclear reactor inTurkey.

Like people in other countrieswhere strongmen have gained atthe ballot box, many Turkish vot-ers appeared to have accepted Mr.Erdogan’s argument that power-ful centralized authority was es-sential to forge a strong state andguard against terrorist threats.

The results released by the offi-cial Anadolu news agency showedMr. Erdogan with just under 53percent of the vote, enough tospare him a runoff against hisleading challenger, MuharremInce, who won nearly 31 percent.

At 10:30 p.m., Mr. Erdogan, 64,gave a short televised speech toapplauding supporters at thegates of Huber Pavilion, one of hisresidences in Istanbul.

“It seems the nation has en-trusted me with the duty of thepresidency, and to us a very big re-sponsibility in the legislature,” Mr.Erdogan said. “Turkey has given alesson of democracy with a turn-out of close to 90 percent. I hopethat some will not provoke to hide

President Trump unleashed anaggressive attack Sunday on un-authorized immigrants and the ju-dicial system that handles them,saying that those who cross intothe United States illegally shouldbe sent back immediately withoutdue process or an appearance be-fore a judge.

“We cannot allow all of thesepeople to invade our Country,” Mr.Trump tweeted while on the wayto his golf course in Virginia.“When somebody comes in, wemust immediately, with no Judgesor Court Cases, bring them backfrom where they came.”

It was another twist in a head-spinning series of developmentson immigration since the adminis-tration announced a “zero toler-ance” policy two months ago,leading to the separation of chil-dren from parents who cross theborder illegally and an outcryfrom Democrats and many Re-publicans.

Mr. Trump signed an executiveorder to end the separations lastweek, but the sudden shifts haveled to confusion along the borderabout how children and parentswill be reunited and to turmoil inCongress as the House preparesto vote on a sweeping immigrationbill this week.

Still, the president, who has al-ways dug his heels in when criti-

XINGFU, China — Last month,scientists disclosed a global pollu-tion mystery: a surprise rise inemissions of an outlawed industri-al gas that destroys the atmos-phere’s protective ozone layer.

The unexpected increase is un-dermining what has been hailedas the most successful interna-tional environmental agreementever enacted: the Montreal Proto-col, which includes a ban on

chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, andwhich was expected to bring a fullrecovery of the ozone layer bymidcentury. But the source of thepollution has remained unknown.

Now, a trail of clues leads to thisscrappy industrial boomtown inrural China.

Interviews, documents and ad-

vertisements collected by TheNew York Times and independentinvestigators indicate that a ma-jor source — possibly the over-whelming one — is factories inChina that have ignored a globalban and kept making or using thechemical, CFC-11, mostly toproduce foam insulation for re-frigerators and buildings.

“You had a choice: Choose thecheaper foam agent that’s not sogood for the environment, or theexpensive one that’s better for theenvironment,” said Zhang Wenbo,owner of a refrigerator factory

here in Xingfu, in Shandong Prov-ince, where he and many othersmall-scale manufacturers saidthat until recently, they had usedCFC-11 widely to make foam insu-lation.

“Of course, we chose thecheaper foam agent,” Mr. Zhangsaid during an interview in his of-fice. “That’s how we survived.”

As he spoke, a crackdown wasunderway in the town and mo-ments later, four officials enteredMr. Zhang’s factory, handed him aleaflet warning against a range of

The Mysterious Rise ofa Banned Chemical

SILVER SPRING, Md. — Theirrock star had arrived.

As the sun set on a sticky Juneevening, hundreds of supportersscreamed. They chanted hisname. They tried to get closeenough to touch him.

“You all ready to make a poli-tical revolution?” Senator BernieSanders, the Vermont independ-ent, asked them last week, fistpumping, voice booming. Then,for more than 15 minutes, he riffedon his familiar themes: “Medicarefor All,” tuition-free public college,a $15 minimum wage. Someoneheld a sign urging a 2020 presi-dential run.

Mr. Sanders, however, was notcampaigning for himself. At leastnot explicitly.

Ahead of the Maryland primarythis Tuesday, Mr. Sanders hadmade the short trip from Capitol

Hill to this Washington suburb tocampaign with Ben Jealous, a for-mer leader of the N.A.A.C.P. andone of the state’s top Democraticcandidates for governor. The rallywas part of what Mr. Sanders andhis allies say is a cross-country en-dorsement strategy intended tohelp spread his ideological mes-sage.

But the race in Maryland hasalso become a critical test of Mr.Sanders’s ability to sway elec-tions. If his policy agenda hascaught on widely among Demo-cratic candidates, and succeededin moving the party to the left, Mr.Sanders himself has struggled sofar to expand his political base andpropel his personal allies to vic-tory in Democratic primaries.

PLYMOUTH, Wis. — It’s a com-mon observation here that youcan’t turn off the cows — not forChristmas, and not for a trade war.

So as President Trump’s ag-gressive trade measures promptother countries to retaliate withbarriers to American goods, dairyfarmers and cheesemakers in therolling, bright green hills of Wis-consin are growing anxious aboutwhat will happen to all of the milkand cheese they churn out andtypically sell overseas.

“If export markets get shut off, Icould see us getting to the pointwhere we’re dumping our milk inthe fields,” said Jeff Schwager, thepresident of Sartori Company,

which has produced cheese in anearby town for generations withmilk it purchases from more than100 dairy farms throughout Wis-consin. “It’ll be a big ripple effectthrough the state.”

Mr. Trump has set off tradeclashes with countries around theworld, demanding new tradeagreements and slapping tariffson allies to reset what he says aredeeply unfair terms that hurtAmerican companies and work-ers. He has singled out certainAmerican industries that he saysare at a global disadvantage, in-cluding automobiles and dairy —which led to a public spat betweenMr. Trump and the Canadianprime minister, Justin Trudeau,over Canada’s dairy tariffs.

The president’s trade approachstems from his campaign promiseto revive American industry, par-ticularly manufacturing, byputting “America First.” Thatpromise helped propel Mr. Trump

The pearl bracelet arrived inMay 2014, in the spring of AliWatkins’s senior year in college, agraduation gift from a man manyyears her senior. It was the sort ofbauble that might imply some-thing more deeply felt than friend-ship — but then again, might not.

Ms. Watkins, then a 22-year-oldintern in the Washington bureauof McClatchy Newspapers, wasnot entirely surprised. She hadmet James Wolfe, a 50-somethingsenior aide to the Senate Intelli-gence Committee, while huntingfor scoops on Capitol Hill. He hadbecome a helpful source, but therewere times when he seemed inter-ested in other pursuits — likewhen he presented her with a Val-

entine’s Day card.On that occasion, Ms. Watkins

explained to Mr. Wolfe that theirrelationship was strictly profes-sional. The bracelet suggestedthat her message had not gottenthrough. She asked an editor foradvice, and was told that as longas the gift was not exorbitant — nostock in a company, the editorjoshed — it was fine.

Ms. Watkins kept the bracelet.The story of what happened

next — of a three-year affair thatunfolded between a young report-er and a government official withaccess to top-secret information— is now part of a federal investi-gation that has rattled the world ofWashington journalists and thesources they rely on.
