Big Boss Interview - Biden and McCarthy ‘closer to deal’ on debt ceiling

Download Biden and McCarthy ‘closer to deal’ on debt ceiling

President Biden has said that he should know by the end of Friday whether there is a deal with Republicans to raise the government debt ceiling, so it can continue to pay its bills. Mr Biden said things were looking good and he thought negotiators were very close to a deal. The two sides have a little more breathing room after the US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, extended the debt ceiling deadline by four days, to 5 June.
