“House Speaker McCarthy accuses White House of backtracking on debt ceiling negotiations”

House Speaker McCarthy on Wednesday accused the White House of backtracking on negotiations to raise the debt ceiling. He said he could not expect progress in negotiations until President Biden, who is in Japan to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit, returns to Washington.

“I don’t think we can make progress until the president is home,” McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol. “They really want to spend more than they did this year,” he said, criticizing the White House.
