德国总理默茨：改革方案可能使德国2027年GDP至少增长1%。

On July 2, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources published a legal comment saying Japan and the Philippines have announced they will open bilateral delimitation talks over exclusive economic zone and continental shelf areas east of Taiwan. The ministry said the proposed delimitation would largely overlap maritime areas China can claim under international law, was advanced without consulting China, ignored the area’s specific geography, and violated principles of sovereign equality, good faith and obligations of cooperation and restraint, constituting an internationally wrongful act. The ministry called on Japan and the Philippines to stop the talks and consult with China to fulfill international obligations and assume state responsibility, and said China has the right to hold them accountable.

White House National Economic Council director Hassett criticized former Fed chair Powell for remaining on the Federal Reserve, saying Jay Powell not stepping down is "extremely unusual" and that his staying blocks the administration from nominating new Fed governors. Hassett also said most Fed voters "did not vote out of patriotism but because they wanted to remove Trump." Powell, whose board term runs to January 2028, said he will remain for now. He has said an investigation into a Fed building project appears politically motivated and in April said he would leave "when I think appropriate." The Fed board currently has only one member nominated during Trump's re‑election: new chair Kevin Warsh.
