The New York Times: Διαπραγματεύσεις για το όριο χρέους των ΗΠΑ

Negotiations on U.S. debt limit
President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to meet this afternoon to try to jump-start talks aimed at averting a default on America’s debt. Negotiations faltered over the weekend as the two sides clashed over Republicans’ demands to cut spending in exchange for raising the debt limit.
Negotiators are working against a punishing clock. The debt ceiling, the statutory limit on the government’s power to borrow to pay its obligations, is projected to be reached as soon as June 1.
Biden and McCarthy are negotiating over a fiscal package that would raise the limit, which Republicans have refused to do without spending cuts. They remain far apart on key issues, including on caps for federal spending, on new work requirements for some recipients of federal antipoverty assistance and on funding meant to help the I.R.S. crack down on high earners and corporations that evade taxes.
This week: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to provide another update to Congress on the government’s cash balance.
