WASHINGTON, D.C.: Senate Republicans revived negotiations on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) over President Joe Biden's sweeping investment plan, preparing a $1-trillion infrastructure proposal that would be funded with Covid-19 relief money as a counteroffer to the White House ahead of a Memorial Day deadline toward a bipartisan deal. The Republicans said they would disclose details of the new offer by Thursday, sounding upbeat after both sides had panned other offers. At the White House, press secretary Jen Psaki declined to address the new plan but said: 'We expect this week to be a week of progress.'
