US House of Representatives (HoR) Speaker Kevin McCarthy confirmed that President Joe Biden's inaction could lead to the first debt default in the history of the United States of America.
McCarthy wrote on his Twitter account: “There are only 10 days left before Biden defaults on the public debt.
He revealed that Biden ignored the impending crisis for months, despite repeated calls for negotiations. Because of his inaction, he risks facing the first default in history.” The American.”
McCarthy added that he called for negotiations on public debt in mid-January, but Biden did not respond, and only in mid-May did Biden acknowledge that such dialogue was necessary.
Earlier, the White House spokeswoman, Karen Jean-Pierre, said that the House Speaker's team put forward several proposals that "invalidate" negotiations with the administration on the issue of the country's public debt.
The US president noted that the Republicans' initiatives were "simply unacceptable" and refused to give guarantees that default would not occur.
