President McCarthy called Biden’s behavior strange over his refusal to discuss public debt – Reuters

According to him, America wants the head of the White House “to act in a different way”. McCarthy explained that Biden ignored “any possibility of communication,” although before that he always opposed people who refused to negotiate.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill to raise the borrowing limit and dramatically cut government spending, marking President Kevin McCarthy’s victory after days of grueling negotiations in Congress, The Hill notes. Following that, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre quoted Biden’s statement that “this bill has no chance of becoming law.” She reaffirmed the US administration’s position that it wants an “unconditional” increase in the debt ceiling.

The bill would raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion by the end of March next year in exchange for a wide range of Republican proposals to cut government spending, which the Congressional says Budget Office (CBO), amount to $4.8 trillion.
