US President Joe Biden and Republican House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy entered a critical week for debt-ceiling talks, hoping they could find common ground on spending levels and energy regulations to avert a devastating default
Biden has insisted that Congress must increase the country's borrowing capacity without conditions, but the White House says it is also willing to discuss budget matters with House Republicans.
Republicans face pressure from former President Donald Trump, who said they should allow the country to default unless all their demands are met. House Republicans passed legislation in April that pairs a $1.5 trillion debt-ceiling hike with $4.8 trillion in spending cuts, largely achieved by cutting annual discretionary spending by 8% next year and capping growth in the years to come.
