The White House admits that there are “real differences” with Republicans in the budget crisis negotiations

“There are real differences between the parties regarding the budget issues, and the negotiations will be difficult. The presidential team is working for a reasonable bipartisan solution, to be approved in the House of Representatives and in the Senate,” said a White House official.

The President of the USA, Joseph Biden, declared himself confident, on Wednesday, that a solution will be found to avoid the situation of inability to pay, specifying that the discussions with the leaders of the Congress were productive. “I am confident that we will get an agreement on the budget and that America will not go into default,” Biden declared before leaving for the G7 Group summit in Japan.

Biden stressed that Tuesday’s meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell was “productive.” , stressing that they agreed that the United States would avoid default. “It would be catastrophic for the American economy and the American people if we don’t pay off our debt. I’m confident that everyone here agreed that we have to come together because there is no alternative. We have to do what’s right for the country, we have to act,” Biden insisted.

President Biden will cut short his tour of the Asia-Pacific region, to give more time to negotiations with Congress leaders. The US Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, has repeatedly warned that the United States risks defaulting if Congress does not approve raising the sovereign debt ceiling.
