Rubio said up to 40 companies from the Quad nations would meet at the State Department on Tuesday to discuss diversifying their mineral supply chains, and other plans for international cooperation.

Markets instantly reacted to the signal, with the Conservative Party’s Lord Kempsell, a former journalist poacher-turned gamekeeper…
Republican leaders aren’t only scrambling to find the votes to push their megabill through the House, they’re also dealing with an unexpected procedural issue that could complicate floor consideration of the “big, beautiful bill.” The problem is deep in the weeds, a drafting issue on a procedural document — the “rule” governing the megabill’s floor consideration. But there are real consequences for Speaker Mike Johnson if it doesn’t get fixed. “It has a mistake in it,” said Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern, the top Rules Committee Democrat, on the floor Wednesday. He said Republicans “don’t have an escape hatch if they…

Republican holdouts on the Senate-passed version of the party’s “big, beautiful bill” are huddling with House GOP leaders, who are holding open a vote to move the legislation forward as they negotiate. The procedural vote remained stuck more than 90 minutes after it was first called. Seven Republicans have yet to vote, and several of them are gathered in a room off the House floor where Speaker Mike Johnson and other top leaders have been shuffling in and out. Placating those hard-line fiscal hawks could be the final test of whether Republicans can send the massive domestic-policy bill to President…
