New US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he was committed to stop «wasteful» Washington spending and the rising national debt.
McCarthy received 216 votes to win the House speakership after 15 rounds of votes this week to rally a majority of Republicans shortly after midnight on Saturday. The politician also said that the House would «address America’s long-term challenges, the debt, the rise of the Chinese Communist Party» and that the US Congress «must speak with one voice on both of these issues.
