AP News DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran's president said Tuesday he instructed the country’s foreign minister to “pursue fair and equitable negotiations” with the United States, the first clear sign from Tehran it wants to try to negotiate as tensions remain high with Washington after the Mideast country's bloody crackdown on nationwide protests last month.

AP News Speaker Mike Johnson’s ability to carry out President Donald Trump’s “play call” for funding the government looks promising ahead of a House vote this afternoon on a bill to end the partial shutdown.
