Trump 2024? Say it ain’t so. In his first public appearance since leaving the White House, Agent Orange hinted that he could run for president again in 2024 through the Republican Party. Speaking at the right-wing Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando yesterday, Trump said again that he won the 2020 election and strongly criticized President Joe Biden’s policies on immigration, energy and other issues, which he called “a destructive agenda.”

Also worth knowing this morning:

  • Major infrastructure projects look to be the next legislative priority for the Biden administration, which is looking to put together a bill for “sustained spending” on infrastructure, the Associated Press reports.
  • Iran has rebuffed an offer from the EU to rekindle talks with the US on Tehran’s Obama-era nuclear program, continuing to insist the US lift sanctions before talks resume, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing unnamed senior Western diplomats.
