White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt holds a letter from US President Donald Trump addressed to South Korean President Lee Jae-myung as she speaks during the daily briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on July 7, 2025. US President Donald Trump said Monday he was slapping 25 percent tariffs on Japan and South Korea, in his first letters to trading partners ahead of a deadline to reach a deal with Washington. Trump had said at the weekend that starting from Monday he would send a first batch of up to 15 letters to countries informing them that he would reimpose harsh levies that he had postponed in April. In near-identically worded letters to the Japanese and South Korean leaders, Trump said the tariffs would apply from August 1 because their trading relationships with Washington were "unfortunately, far from Reciprocal."

Iris Haim, the mother of hostage Yotam Haim, who was killed mistakly by Israeli soldiers a month ago in the Gaza strip, shows a portrait of her son, she received as a present, during an interview with AFP journalists in Shoeva, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, on January 15, 2024. Yotam Haim was gunned down in the Gaza Strip by Israeli soldiers who failed to realise he had escaped from the custody of his Hamas captors -- yet his mother refuses to criticise the army. Iris Haim, 57, feels the same way now as she did a month ago, when she sent an extraordinary message to the battalion involved in her son's killing.
