Washington, Jan 18 (PTI) The White House on Tuesday insisted that the looming debt ceiling crisis be dealt without conditions and there is no room for negotiations on this.
“This should not be political brinkmanship. We should be dealing with the debt ceiling without conditions. It is important. We’re not going to work our way around this; we’re not going to negotiate on this. This is the basic duty of Congress,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at her daily news conference.
In the last administration, the Democrats and Republicans were able to deal with the debt limit three times. “Let’s not forget that,” she said.
