WASHINGTON (AP) -- President George W. Bush, freshly returned from economic crisis talks overseas with world leaders, was gathering with his Treasury chief and other Cabinet members Monday to talk about U.S. actions, including a government rescue of Citigroup.

Bush was holding talks at the Treasury Department with Secretary Henry Paulson, and also joining an already-scheduled meeting of members of his Cabinet who are working on greater economic cooperation with China, White House press secretary Dana Perino said.

Among the topics on the agenda would be a readout from the president to his top officials on his meeting Friday with Chinese President Hu Jintao that was focused in part on the global economic turmoil.

A presidential statement was planned after the discussions, at 10:35 a.m. EST.
