The US Senate on Thursday engaged in a race against time to validate in turn an increase in the debt ceiling. The bill has already been validated Wednesday evening by a large majority of elected members of the House of Representatives.
The result of fierce negotiations and torn from forceps, this agreement should make it possible to avoid the worst: that the country's coffers run dry on June 5, risking pushing the United States to default. It is to avoid this potentially catastrophic scenario that Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican House of. Representatives boss Kevin McCarthy have reached this compromise.
