Washington-Sana
The New York Times revealed that US President Joe Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan is facing widespread rejection and sharp criticism from Republicans in both the House and Senate.
The newspaper pointed out that Biden's plan is the first step in a two-part agenda to reshape the US economy, and the cost is likely to rise to 4 trillion dollars.
The newspaper pointed out that given the opposition of Republicans in both the House and Senate to this plan, it is likely that the legislative battle will be intense and very difficult without ensuring that Biden's desire will prevail.
On May 21, the White House reduced the value of its infrastructure plan by about 600 billion dollars to reach 1.7 trillion dollars in an attempt to win the support of Republicans who rejected this step and indicated the persistence of “deep differences” and vowed to work on a “counter-offer.”
