RUSSIA

House Speaker Paul Ryan stands by Devin Nunes, a White House ally who heads the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee and is under fire for his handling of an investigation into possible Russian ties to Trump's election campaign.

Nunes says he will not divulge - even to other members of his committee - who gave him intelligence reports that indicated Trump and his associates may have been ensnared in incidental intelligence collection.

Trump will attend a G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, on July 7-8, the White House says after Trump spoke by phone to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

NATO

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will press this week for NATO allies to demonstrate a "clear path" to increase defense spending, a State Department official tells reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

BANKING REGULATION

Republican lawmakers ask the Treasury secretary to review the process a government council uses to label non-bank institutions "too big to fail," saying the additional capital requirements and regulations are too onerous.

WORLD LEADERS
