Trump may meet with Putin and Zelensky next week, White House says. Yesterday, a Trump admin official floated the possibility of Trump meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the near future, but stressed that neither a date nor a location had been set yet, and also said POTUS would be open to meeting with both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Later in the day, Trump told reporters that there was “a very good prospect” of a summit with the three leaders occurring. A new Gallup survey released this morning found that 7 in 10 Ukrainians surveyed in early July said their country should seek a negotiated settlement to end the war as soon as possible.
An Army sergeant allegedly shot five soldiers at Fort Stewart. The suspect, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, is in custody and is accused of shooting five coworkers with a personal handgun. The five victims are in stable condition, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X. The gunfire broke out at the Army training base in Georgia yesterday shortly before 11am, prompting the commander to lock down the facility until the afternoon. The commander said that Radford had no prior military disciplinary issues. Investigators were still determining a motive as of this morning.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pulled $500 million of mRNA vaccine funding. The US health secretary canceled 22 projects related to mRNA vaccines and is taking other steps to divest federal funding from the vaccine technology. In a video posted to X, Kennedy said, “After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses.” Dr. Jerome Adams, who served as the surgeon general during Trump’s first term, said on X, “I’ve tried to be objective & non-alarmist in response to current HHS actions—but quite frankly this move is going to cost lives…mRNA technology has uses that go far beyond vaccines…and the vaccine they helped develop in record time is credited with saving millions.”—HVL
