President Trump will meet Tuesday with oil and gas executives at the White House and is expected to discuss how to expand U.S. refining capacity as part of an effort to lower gasoline prices, according to a White House official.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright will head to Venezuela later Tuesday, days after the nation entered into a 25-year deal to acquire majority U.S. control of more than 65 million barrels of Venezuelan oil.
The House has teed up a vote Tuesday on a stopgap measure that will keep the government funded into December, along with a censure vote on Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.), referred from the Ethics Committee.
The Massachusetts Democratic primary Tuesday night will pit incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, who has held the seat since 2013, against Rep. Seth Moulton, as the 47-year-old House lawmaker mounts a long-shot bid to oust his 80-year-old progressive opponent. Surveys have consistently favored Markey, and whoever wins the primary will likely take the seat in the fall. Polls close at 8 p.m. EDT.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the Group of 20 (G20) finance ministers and central bank governors will conclude their meeting in Asheville, N.C.
