Global Affairs and Domestic Politics Shape Washington Agenda

Washington D.C. is set to address a complex array of international and domestic issues as Congress reconvenes. Globally, an expanding offensive by Israel in Lebanon is unfolding alongside stalled peace talks between the United States and Iran. These international developments are expected to factor into legislative priorities.
