SPOTTED: Russian Ambassador Sergey Kisiyak in a very good mood at Cafe Milano Friday night. He walked into the restaurant by himself. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is continuing his meetings at the G-20. He returns to Washington at the end of the day. Earlier today, he and British Prime Minister Theresa May gave brief remarks. Trump said "they would have 'tremendous talks' and reach a very big 'a very powerful deal' on trade 'very very quickly,"' according to the pool report. Pooler Andrew Beatty of AFP noted: "in the corner of the room was a late TV, still on, but silent, showing Fox News." - - ON RUSSIA: Trump said he had a "tremendous meeting" with Putin. According to the pool report: "POTUS did not answer a shouted [question] about whether Russia lied about his meeting yesterday." - - ON VISITING ENGLAND: "I will be going to London." No details on when. Indonesian President Joko Widodo , known as Jokowi, also met Trump in a bilateral meeting room, saying it was "a great honor" to meet with him. "Jokowi spoke in English, wishing Trump 'warm greetings' from his 'millions of fans' in Indonesia. He said they all want to know is when Trump will go there. 'We'll get there, we'll get there. It's a place I'd like to go,' POTUS responded," per the pool. NOTE: Us too! - - ON TRADE: "We're going to do a lot of trade deals," Trump said of working with Indonesia, according to the pool report. "We are going to do a lot of business." Sierra Club v. EPA, 1:17-cv-01906 ED_001523_00002206-00001 - - "Ivanka Trump Sat In for Her Father at the G-20 Leaders' Table," by Bloomberg's Craig Gordon (with a rare byline) in Hamburg: "A photo on Twitter shows Ivanka Trump sitting at her father's place, between Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Theresa May. One official who was watching the session said she has taken her father's place at the table on at least two occasions today and did not speak. A spokesman for Ivanka Trump said she had been sitting in the back of the room and then briefly joined the main table when the president stepped out." https://bloom.bg/2sAqjqs ... Pic of Ivanka at the table http://bit.lv/2tTDC2n MOLLY K. MCKEW in POLITICO Magazine, "Trump Handed Putin a Stunning Victory: From his speech in Poland to his two-hour summit in Hamburg, the president seemed determined to promote Russia's dark and illiberal view of the world": "In very concrete terms, through speech and action, the president signaled a willingness to align the United States with Vladimir Putin's worldview, and took steps to advance this realignment. He endorsed, nearly in its totality, the narrative the Russian leader has worked so meticulously to construct. The readout of Trump's lengthy meeting with Putin included several key points. First, the United States will 'move on' from election hacking issues with no accountability or consequences for Russia; in fact, the U.S. will form a 'framework' with Russia to cooperate on cybersecurity issues, evaluating weaknesses and assessing potential responses jointly. "Second, the two presidents agreed not to meddle in 'each other's' domestic affairsequating American activities to promote democracy with Russian aggression aimed at undermining it, in an incalculable PR victory for the Kremlin. Third, the announced, limited cease-fire in Syria will be a new basis for cooperation between the U.S. and Russia; Secretary of State Rex Tillerson went so far as to say that the Russian approach in Syria-yielding mass civilian casualties, catastrophic displacement, untold destruction and erased borders-may be 'more right' than that of the United States.'" http://politi.co/2uVCV5A MICHAEL CROWLEY in Hamburg: "Trump's pursuit of friendship with Putin fulfills his campaign promise": "When it comes to dealing with Russia, President Donald Trump is keeping his promise. As president, Trump has backed away from campaign promises to impose tariffs on China, scrap the Iran nuclear deal and quickly build a wall on the Mexican border. But nothing has deterred him from his vow to test the possibilities of diplomacy with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Not three federal investigations, not talk of impeachment -- not even his wife. "First lady Melania Trump interrupted her husband's Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin here at the G-20 summit in an unsuccessful attempt to end an unexpectedly long and chatty session between the leaders of two ostensibly hostile powers. 'We went another hour after she came in to see us,' Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters in a briefing afterwards, with top White House and State Department aides looking on. 'There was such a level of exchange and engagement,' between Trump and Putin, he added, 'neither of them wanted to stop.'" http://politi.co/2tAdZkC Sierra Club v.

At a gathering of the Group of 20 world economic powers - normally a venue for drab displays of international comity - there were tough clashes with the United States and even talk of a possible transatlantic trade war. "The tensions were a measure of Trump's sharp break with previous U.S. policies. They were also a warning signal of Washington's diminished clout, as the leaders of the other nations who gathered in Hamburg mulled whether to fix their signatures to statements that would exclude Trump or to find some sort of compromise. Two European officials said they were leaning toward a united front against Washington." http://wapo.st/2sAnE9p -- "G20 communique agreed apart from climate issue: EU officials," by Reuters' Paul Carrel and Noah Barkin in Hamburg: "World leaders meeting for a summit in Germany have agreed every aspect of a joint statement apart from the section on climate where the United States is pushing for a reference to fossil fuels, European Union officials said on Saturday. The officials said aides had worked until 2 a.m. to finalize a communique for the Group of 20, overcoming differences on trade after U.S. officials agreed to language on fighting protectionism. ... [O]ne EU official [said:] 'We have all the fundamentals. We have a G20 communique, not a G19 communique'... "The section that needs to be resolved by the leaders relates to the U.S. insistence that there be a reference to fossil fuels, the official said. ... Trump ... congratulated Sierra Club v. EPA, 1:17-cv-01906 ED_001523_00002206-00003 Merkel for her stewardship of the summit. 'You have been amazing and you have done a fantastic job. Thank you very much chancellor,' he said." SUPPORT ERODING ... IWO SIMILAR STORIES in the NYT and POLITICO: JENNIFER STEINHAUER and ROBERT PEAR on A1: "G.O.P. Support of Senate Health Repeal Erodes During Break": "With Congress set to return on Monday after a week's recess, Republican lawmakers are increasingly aware that their seven-year promise to dismantle President Barack Obama's largest policy achievement is deeply imperiled. Senator John Hoeven, Republican of North Dakota, signaled this week that he would not vote for the bill as written, following negative remarks from other senators with large poor and rural populations. That was the 10th defection. Three other Republican senators, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and John Boozman of Arkansas, have withheld their support, although they have not declared their opposition, and others have largely remained silent. "Mr. Grassley told voters on Friday that he was unsure if he would vote for the Senate Republican bill in its current form, according to The Des Moines Register. 'I don't even know if we're going to get a bill up,' said Mr. Grassley, an expert on health policy and taxes who has been in Congress for more than 40 years." http://nyti.ms/2uBzXUr --JEN HABERKORN: "Time away from Washington deepens GOP misgivings about health plan: Corralling 50 votes looks even more daunting in the run-up to August recess": "Buffeted by headwinds, Republicans will return to Washington on July 10 facing even longer odds for piecing together a bill that can win over skeptical moderates and conservatives in the three weeks before the August recess. "The events seemed to validate McConnell's original plan to speed a vote on a draft plan before lawmakers scattered across the country for their holiday break. Controversial legislation rarely looks more appealing after sitting out in the open for a week -- conventional wisdom proved true this week. But after canceling the plan for a late June vote, the GOP may have no other option but try to wrap up repeal efforts before August." http://politi.co/2uVk22E SPEAKER PAUL RYAN in Madison yesterday, per the Capital Times: 'Tm pleased with where we are. We have a very aggressive agenda, and we know that most of these big difficult things take about a year to do, and that's why this will ultimately coalesce around getting these things done in the fall. But we're basically where I was hoping to be." http://bit.lv/2sAXJhO SIREN -- NYT EDITORIAL BOARD: "Yes, the Trump Administration Has Ideas, and Some Are O.K.": "[A]fter digging through June's pronouncements and bullet points, and consulting the White House, its allies and its critics, we found a few promising ideas amid the blather, as well as some old clunkers. Week One: Infrastructure. A great idea, stalled on the runway. Even the hulking coal barges behind Mr. Trump as he made a 'major' infrastructure speech on June 7 couldn't hide that his biggest job-creation promise, a $1 trillion infrastructure overhaul, has fallen prey to his inattentiveness, a Sierra Club v. EPA, 1:17-cv-01906 ED_001523_00002206-00004 congressional logjam, Republicans' worries about costs and their aversion to working with Democrats on most anything. "Week Two: Workforce Development. Mr. Trump wants to expand vocational school, job training and apprenticeship opportunities to fill a deep gap in the manufacturing, health care, technology and construction labor pools. ... Mr. Trump signed an executive order in June directing the labor secretary to channel available money toward programs that provide paying jobs with a training or educational component. It's not a fully formed plan, but it's a solid effort to address a recognized need. Ivanka Trump again promoted her plan for six weeks of paid family leave. Democrats say it's not enough; Republicans recoil at government-funded family leave. She gets credit for pushing Republicans to consider an overdue idea, but it's unclear that she has the commitment and experience to win them over. "Week Three: Technology. Jared Kushner... updated tech executives on progress in modernizing the government's technology infrastructure. Once the cameras were off, the chief executives stressed that cybersecurity and system modernization go hand in hand, and have been a priority at least since the Office of Personnel Management data hack during the Obama administration. They established a working group of experts from two dozen companies, which this week began drawing up recommendations for replacing antiquated government computer systems with secure networks. The project has bipartisan support in Congress. (Read: It might actually get funded.) "Week Four: Energy. Lots of chest pounding by Mr. Trump and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke about 'energy dominance' and the need to extract even more of what America already has in abundance - oil and natural gas - with little attention to further developing carbon-free energy sources like wind and solar. On the plus side, the president promised to 'revive and expand our nuclear energy sector.'" http://nvti.ms/2sYcgUb JOHN PODESTA in WaPo, "Why is Trump tweeting about me when he should be doing his job?": "What I do know is this, which is why I'm choosing to respond to Trump's tweet: The Russians stole my emails. When they did that, they committed a crime. They also invaded my privacy, and the privacy of a multitude of friends, family and colleagues with whom I communicated. That, combined with vicious lies spread by the alt-right media such as the so-called Comet Ping Pong conspiracy, exposed them to potential harm, as was evidenced by the shooting at Comet. The crime the Russians committed, as the intelligence community has concluded, was for the purpose of helping Trump get elected president. "So the responsible thing for a U.S. president to do, in these circumstances, is to have the backbone to stand up against Russian interference in U.S. democracy - not to question, as Trump did on Thursday, the competence of our own intelligence community and to publicly doubt, once again, the conclusion that Russia was behind the hacking." http://wapo.st/2u0 -'071 FOR YOUR RADAR -- "South Syria truce to allay Jordan, Israel fears about Iran," Sierra Club v. EPA, 1:17-cv-01906 ED_001523_00002206-00005 by AP's Karin Laub in Amman, Jordan: "A separate truce for southern Syria, brokered by the U.S. and Russia, is meant to help allay growing concerns by neighboring Jordan and Israel about Iranian military ambitions in the area, including fears that Tehran plans to set up a disruptive long-term presence there. Such apprehensions were stoked by recent movements of Shiite Muslim militias - loyal to Iran and fighting alongside Syrian government forces - toward Jordan's border with Syria, and to another strategic area in the southeast, close to where the two countries meet Iraq." http://bit.lv/2tXcQWu --"Mosul victory imminent as Islamic State lines collapse: Iraqi military," by Reuters' Stephen Kalin in Mosul and Maher Chmaytelli in Erbil http://reut.rs/2tsAM3o Playbook Reads PHOTO DU JOUR: Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with President Donald at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, on July 7. | Evan Vucci/AP Photo HMM -- "Group Alleges Tom Price Improperly Spent Campaign Funds During Confirmation Fight," by WSJ's Michelle Hackman: "A campaign-finance watchdog group filed a complaint against Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Friday, alleging he improperly used his congressional campaign fund to promote his confirmation to join President Donald Trump's cabinet. In its complaint with the [FEC], the Campaign Legal Center cited a $40,000 payment the former Georgia congressman's campaign committee made on Jan. 26 to America Rising, a GOP consulting firm. Around the same date ... the firm released research and videos promoting the confirmation of Mr. Price and other cabinet nominees in the Senate. Mr. Price was the only cabinet nominee to use campaign funds to pay the firm." http://on.wsi.com/2tAWS22 THE LATEST ON THE TRAVEL BAN - "Hawaii takes another legal swat at Trump travel ban," by Josh Gerstein: "Lawyers for the state of Hawaii are making yet another bid to rein in President Donald Trump's travel ban executive order, returning to a federal judge who rejected a similar request just one day earlier. Late Friday night [in Hawaii] the state's legal team filed a new motion asking U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson to declare that the policy the Trump administration began implementing last week violates an injunction Watson issued in March. Hawaii's attorneys, led by Attorney General Douglas Chin and private counsel Neal Katyal, also made an alternative request that Watson modify his order to prohibit the federal government from using a restrictive interpretation requiring immigrants to have sufficient family or other ties to the U.S. to win an exemption from the travel ban." http://politi.co/2uVtlKA FIRST FAMILY -- "Trump pledges $50 million for global women's business effort advocated by daughter Ivanka," by USA Today's Gregory Korte: "President Trump lent his support to a global women's entrepreneurship initiative championed by daughter Sierra Club v.
