POLITICO: Russia looms over Trump's meetings with European leaders — "European officials are straining to make sense of an administration in which some top officials talk tough about Putin, while Trump banters in the Oval Office with senior Russian diplomats and releases statements stressing the prospect of cooperation with Moscow. Russia won't likely be a top agenda item when Trump visits, but it will loom over his meetings, nonetheless."

New York Times: Top Russian Officials Discussed How to Influence Trump Aides Last Summer — "American spies collected information last summer revealing that senior Russian intelligence and political officials were discussing how to exert influence over Donald J. Trump through his advisers, according to three current and former American officials familiar with the intelligence."

The Guardian: Manchester bombing: more people linked to attack may be at large — "Investigators believe there may be more people at large who are part of a terror network linked to the Manchester Arena attack, and that more bomb-making materials have still to be found. The investigation into the bombing on Monday continued into a third day with police saying progress had been made. Concern among officials is still so high that Britain remains on its highest terrorism alert level."
