The Administration of US President Joe Biden has defended his student loan debt cancellation plan and has said he “trusts” him in the face of skepticism from the Supreme Court and criticism from the Republican side.
The Minister of Education, Miguel Cardona, has indicated this in an email sent to millions of borrowers, in which he points out that the Government has presented a “compelling case” to support Biden’s actions in this regard.
“Our Administration trusts the relevant legal authorities to adopt this plan and carry it out, so we tell our opponents that our program cannot even be brought to justice,” Cardona asserted, according to an email to which he has had access. the CNN television network.
His words come as millions of borrowers remain in limbo while they wait for the Supreme Court to decide whether to cancel the debts of the students who have requested it, which amount to about 20,000 dollars.
White House sources, who have supervised the arguments put forward by both parties, have maintained the position that the government’s decision will prevail and that the lawsuits filed will not go ahead.
The program, which has caused divisions within the country, has led at least six red states to file lawsuits against the Administration alleging that it is a “reckless” and “unfair” plan.
