The United States could avoid a default if the federal government decides to either have spending cuts or raise its debt ceiling or both.
Representative Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican, was asked about former President Donald Trump’s contradicting remarks that he has made in regard to the United States’ debt ceiling.
« Well, first of all, he also said the other day on a rival network that he said that when he was president, and when they asked why he wasn’t saying it now, he said because he’s not president, » the Florida Republican said, referring to Trump’s comments at a CNN town hall that happened earlier this month. At the town hall, Trump advised Republicans in Congress to default on debts if they don’t get « massive » cuts as part of the debt ceiling debate, according to The Hill.
In response, Todd asked Donalds, « Do you realize how absurd that sounds? »
Donalds said: « He’s [Trump] always negotiating.
