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.
