Playbook PM: Trump turns to tricky treaties
Presented by THE CATCH-UP A BIG DAY AT 1600 PENN: President Donald Trump has a stacked day today of sending trade letters, signing executive orders in the Oval Office at 4 p.m. and then hosting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu this evening at the White House for the third time since returning to office. Expect to hear more about all of it — plus the latest on the response to the deadly flooding in Texas — during White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's press briefing, which just kicked off. Watch live First up, the letters: Trump posted to Truth Social two of the dozen or so letters that he's sending to major trading partners as he extends the deadline to reach deals to Aug. 1. Turning up the heat on Japan and South Korea, the letters invite world leaders to 'participate in the extraordinary Economy of the United States' and threaten a 25-percent tariff escalation should the countries attempt retaliation. Read the letters to Japan and South Korea … More from POLITICO's Megan Messerly and Daniel Desrochers The caveat: If these countries choose to 'open your heretofore closed Trading Markets' and eliminate their tariffs, 'we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter,' Trump writes. In other words, it's all open to negotiation anyway. Here we go again: Stocks dropped following Trump's postings, per CNN's Elisabeth Buchwald. Trump and the world: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said this morning that he will meet with his Chinese counterpart 'in the next couple of weeks' to advance trade talks, Bloomberg's Akayla Gardner reports. 'I think there are things for us to do together if the Chinese want to do it,' Bessent said on CNBC. 'So we will discuss whether we are able to move beyond trade into other areas.' Mr. Worldwide: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is jetting off to Asia to talk trade and global security as the tariff deadline grows closer. He flies to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, tomorrow and will attend the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, per the State Department. Keeping mum: The BRICS nations, which are wrapping up their summit in Rio de Janeiro today, largely aren't engaging with Trump's overnight threat to slap extra tariffs for 'anti-American policies,' Bloomberg's Simone Iglesias and Mirette Magdy write. 'Several officials from different nations said that it's not possible to second-guess what Trump will do, since his social-media post may be a specific threat or more rhetoric. Wait and see is the only option for the group's approach, they said.' Waiting for a breakthrough: The EU is still trying to pull through a deal (or the semblance of one) before July 9, with a European Commission spokesperson saying today that 'political and technical level contact between the EU and U.S. continues,' per WSJ's Edith Hancock. There's been progress on an agreement in principle, and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had a 'good exchange' with Trump over the phone yesterday. Over at Blair House: Netanyahu landed in D.C. early this morning and has a packed day of meetings that Trump is hoping will help push a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza across the finish line this week. Netanyahu is set to meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff at 3 p.m., Rubio at 4:30 p.m. and will cap the day with a White House dinner with Trump around 6:30 p.m. On the agenda: The latest Gaza ceasefire proposal, which comes after two short-lived agreements failed to secure an end to the war, would build in negotiations to end the war, a detail that will be essential for Hamas as conversations continue this week. The two leaders could also discuss talks with Iran. Trump said last night that he's working with Israel on a 'permanent deal.' More from NYT's Aaron Boxerman That's not all: 'Israel is hoping that the outcome of its conflict with Iran will also pave the way for new diplomatic opportunities in the region. … Avi Dichter, an Israeli minister and a member of Netanyahu's security cabinet, said he expected Trump's meeting with the Israeli leader would go beyond Gaza to include the possibility of normalising ties with Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia,' Reuters' Andrea Shalal and Alexander Cornwell report. Behind the scenes: The White House recently reviewed a proposal for a $2 billion plan from the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to build camps called 'Humanitarian Transit Areas' inside — or even outside — Gaza to house displaced Palestinians and to replace 'Hamas' control over the population in Gaza,' Reuters' Jonathan Landay and Aram Roston scooped this morning. Good Monday afternoon. Thanks for reading Playbook PM. Get in touch at abianco@ 7 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW 1. DEVELOPING STORY: 'Man killed after shooting at a US Border Patrol facility in southern Texas,' from AP: 'A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said. Ryan Louis Mosqueda had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest when federal agents returned fire on Monday morning, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning. … Law enforcement said afterward they found a second rifle, more ammunition and backpacks that the suspect had brought. Rodriguez said Mosqueda's motive is currently unknown.' 2. THE LATEST IN TEXAS: Camp Mystic, the all-girls Christian summer camp in Texas, confirmed this morning that they tragically lost 27 campers and counselors in the flash floods over the weekend, AP's Jim Vertuno and John Seewer report. Search and rescue crews are still searching through the overflowed Guadalupe River in central Texas for victims, with the latest estimates putting casualties of at least 89 people, per AP. Over 1,000 volunteers are rummaging through the hardest-hit areas of Kerr County. On the ground: 'The entire state is grieving at a level that is difficult to describe,' Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on 'Fox & Friends' this morning from Kerrville, Texas. 'But there's no doubt afterwards we're going to have to have a serious retrospective … And look, the fact that you have girls asleep in their cabins when the floodwaters are rising, something went wrong there. We've got to fix that and have a better system of warning to get kids out of harm's way.' The threat is ongoing: The National Weather Service is advising that flash flooding could continue, with some areas of central Texas potentially getting up to 10 inches of rain today, WSJ's Jennifer Hiller and colleagues write. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has also warned to navigate roads with extreme caution today. How it happened: 'Children's camps in Texas were located in areas known to be at high risk of flooding,' by CNN's Renée Rigdon and Angela Fritz: 'Several of the camps along the Guadalupe River and its tributaries sustained damage early July 4. Many of them are in areas known to flood. … Ten minutes north on the South Fork is Camp La Junta, a boys camp. Some of Camp La Junta's property also coincides with areas known to flood, though several of its buildings are located in the lower-risk zone.' 3. IMMIGRATION FILES: In the latest of its sweeping cuts to temporary protections for immigrants, the Trump administration is ending the legal status of about 76,000 Hondurans and Nicaraguans on TPS. Immigrants without another status come September will be vulnerable for deportation. More from CBS' Camilo Montoya-Galvez On the realignment: 'Is the Hispanic Red Wave for Donald Trump Starting to Crash?' by The New Yorker's Rachel Monroe: 'In the Rio Grande Valley, bordering Mexico, ICE raids have emptied construction sites and restaurants. Recently turned Republicans are beginning to have doubts.' 4. TRAIL MIX: Rep. Don Davis (D-N.C.) is exploring a potential run for the North Carolina Senate seat soon to be vacated by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), POLITICO's Nick Wu and Jordain Carney report. But a Davis Senate run would in turn open up his swingy House district, a prime pickup opportunity for Republicans next year. … And former Rep. Jesse Jackson is exploring a comeback bid for Illinois' 2nd Congressional District, per POLITICO's Shia Kapos. Jackson's been out of Congress for a decade and spent two years in prison over campaign finance violations. The new campaign move: Democrats hosting town halls and meeting with voters are getting a resounding message to break decorum more often, as anger among the Democratic base grows against the Trump administration, Axios' Andrew Solender writes. A stunning quote: 'Some of [the grassroots] have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot,' a House Democrat told Axios. 'Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough ... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.' 5. SCHOOL TIES: Back in March, Trump called for 'more action against universities,' and then federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania and San Jose State University was scrapped amid the White House's targeting of transgender athletes, according to an email chain exclusively reported by NOTUS' Mark Alfred. 'The internal communications detail a push fueled by a desire to get media attention, as senior officials rushed to coordinate with various federal agencies, the DOGE teams within them and Fox News to deliver on the president's wish. The emails also show that the administration targeted San Jose State in a previously unreported effort to punish the campus — even before the Title IX investigation into it had concluded.' 6. MUSK READ: Elon Musk's posts about forming his own 'America Party' rage on (interspersed between posts on Tesla and the Epstein files), and it's wreaking havoc on his business. Shares of Tesla fell by 8 percent following Musk's posts about his intentions over the weekend, Bloomberg's Craig Trudell reports. 'If that move were to hold, it would be the biggest drop since Musk's initial falling out with Donald Trump over the president's tax bill in early June.' 7. VAX POPULI: 'U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread,' by WaPo's Lena Sun: 'The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength. … Authorities said at least 155 people have been hospitalized and three people have died of measles-related complications this year. … About 92 percent of measles cases in 2025 were in people who were either unvaccinated or whose vaccination status was unknown, according to the CDC.' TALK OF THE TOWN TALK OF THIS TOWN: Michael Schaffer pens his latest Capital City column for POLITICO Mag: 'An Elderly Lawmaker's Staff Keeps Walking Back Things She Tells Reporters. Should They Keep Quoting Her?' A bite: 'For people interested in how Washington works, it's an increasingly common issue in our era of gerontocracy: Just how are you supposed to interact with an elected official who might not be all there? It's an ongoing private conversation among reporters, animated by a sense that the watchdogs haven't been zealous enough — but featuring no real agreement on how to handle these moments.' MEDIA MOVES — The Daily Wire is bringing on Gen Z commentator Isabel Brown to host her D.C.-based podcast, 'The Isabel Brown Show,' on the platform. TRANSITIONS — Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is bringing on five new partners: Jim Flood, Aaron Cummings, Evan Chuck, Anne Elise Herold Li and Paul Keller.

Russian minister kills himself after being dismissed by Putin
Russia's transport minister allegedly shot himself in the head Monday, just hours after President Vladimir Putin dismissed him from his post. Roman Starovoit was abruptly fired Monday after just a year in his key position. He was then found dead inside his car in Odintsovo, a neighborhood just west of Moscow where Russia's elite reside. Starovoit was found with a gun that was an official gift from the Kremlin, officials said. 3 Russian Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit was found dead in his car on Monday of an apparent self-inflicted gun wound. POOL/AFP via Getty Images Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on Starovoit's dismissal, with no reason for his firing listed on the Kremlin's website on Monday. Officials also did not give a reason for his reported suicide. Starovoit was tapped as Russia's new transport minister in May 2024 after serving as the governor of the Kursk region, an area at the heart of an embezzlement case that allegedly aided Ukraine's surprise counter-invasion last summer. The Kremlin has been investigating allegations that officials in Kursk embezzled state funds meant for fortifying the region around the time Ukraine was planning its major assault on Russian soil. The Kursk invasion was the first time in Russia's history that Moscow lost land to an invader since World War II, leaving Putin humiliated and forcing the Russian army to scramble for months to reclaim the land. Starovoit's successor in Kursk, Alexi Smirnov, was allegedly tied to the incident and arrested on embezzlement charges in April, with Russian media claiming that charges were pending for the transport minister. 3 Starovoit's death was reported just hours after he was dismissed from his post by Russian President Vladimir Putin. AP While the Kremlin never made statements on whether Starovoit was under investigation, a transport industry source told Reuters that the minister's position had come into question over the Kursk scandal. Starovoit's dismissal also comes after a weekend of travel chaos plague Russian airports, with more than 160 flights cancelled and another 240 delayed due to Ukraine's drone attacks. 3 His death also came after a weekend of travel chaos gripped Russian airports, with hundreds of flights canceled and delayed due to Ukrainian drone attacks. Youtube/Kanal13 Russian commentators speaking about Starovoit's dismissal, however, said that the disruptions have become common due to the frequency of Ukraine's attacks, claiming the weekend chaos likely played no role in his firing. Following Starvoit's dismissal — but before his death was reported — his deputy transport minister, Andrei Nikitin, was tapped as his replacement. 'At present, in the president's opinion, Andrei Nikitin's professional qualities and experience will best contribute to ensuring that this agency, which the president described as extremely important, fulfills its tasks and functions,' Peskov said in a presser that took place before Starvoit's death was reported.

Russia Appears To Be Hiding Its Death Figures
The Russian government has stopped reporting the number of deaths in Russia as the Kremlin is likely keen to conceal Russia's losses from the war in Ukraine, a report says. Rosstat, Russia's state statistics agency, did not report key demographic data in its report for the first five months of 2025, according to independent outlet Meduza. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a think tank in Washington, D.C., said in a July 6 update that the Russian government wanted to conceal population data to hide growing demographic problems and high losses in Ukraine. Newsweek has contacted Rosstat for comment. Even before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia was facing significant demographic challenges amid a plummeting birth rate. These have increased since February 2022 because of huge casualties and the exodus of Russians fleeing the draft, exacerbating a labor shortage that has fueled inflation in the sanctions-hit economy. Reports that Rosstat is trying to hide population data highlight the sensitivity for the Kremlin of the demographic crisis that Russia faces and the instability it may cause. Meduza reported on Saturday that Rosstat's "Socioeconomic Situation in Russia" report published on July 2 did not include demographic data between January and May this year. Electoral statistics researcher Dmitry Kobak said the agency had refused his request for figures from 2024 about male excess mortality and deaths per month, the outlet reported. In May, independent Russian demographer Alexey Raksha wrote on his Telegram channel that Rosstat had ceased publishing detailed population data and omitted figures for births and deaths and monthly data on marriages and divorces. Raksha, whom Russian authorities have declared a foreign agent, reported an absence of demographic statistics since March, adding that Russia may be having its lowest birth rates since the late 18th century. The omission of demographic data in Rosstat's reports is also likely an attempt to conceal the high military losses in Ukraine. As of Monday, Russia had suffered personnel losses of 1,027,540, according to Ukraine's military, a figure that includes those killed and injured. Ukraine's figures are difficult to independently verify, but they are frequently cited by Western officials. The British government said in April that Russia's likely total casualty count since February 2022 was 920,000. Meduza reported that as early as July 2024, Rosstat had begun to restrict death statistics from external causes, which independent journalists had used to calculate the number of Russians killed in the war. Institute for the Study of War reported on Sunday: "Rosstat is concealing population data in an attempt to obfuscate Russia's ongoing demographic problems, and the omission ... likely also aims to obscure the Russian military's high personnel loss rates." Russian demographer Alexey Raksha wrote on Telegram in May: "March (2025) set a record low for the average daily number of births in the Russian Federation." Branislav Slantchev, a professor of political science at the University of California, wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "The Kremlin is desperate to hide two things: the fact that Russia has lost over a quarter of a million soldiers killed in Ukraine, and the fact that the Russians have an abysmal birth rate that is about to crush them over the coming decades." The Kremlin has prioritized addressing Russia's demographic decline, announcing in December a "Strategy of Action" to provide financial incentives for people to have more children in the next five years and plans to ban "childfree ideology."
