The US risks a fiscal crisis if the country’s debt ceiling is not raised. President Joe Biden has warned about that, and talks and debate have been going on for a long time.

No solution has yet been reached between Democrats and Republicans, and it will take some time, the White House announced late Thursday.

The talks between President Joe Biden and the Republican leaders in Congress have been postponed until next week.

They were supposed to have been held on Friday but were postponed to allow the parties to prepare better and discuss at lower levels.
