This Week in DC
House Democrats plan to advance a major piece of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan this week as he remains far apart from Republicans on a broader deal.
Biden, meanwhile, will head to Europe this week on his first overseas trip since taking office. His stops will include a meeting Thursday with British Prime Minster Boris Johnson and the G7 Summit, which starts Friday in Cornwall, a green technology center.
During the summit, Biden “will reinforce our commitment to multilateralism, work to advance key U.S. policy priorities on public health, economic recovery, and climate change, and demonstrate solidarity and shared values among major democracies,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. In addition to the UK, the other G7 countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.
There appears to be little chance of an infrastructure deal before Biden leaves Washington. However, a key Democrat in the 50-50 Senate, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, told Fox News Sunday he was still "very confident" there would eventually be a bipartisan agreement.
