US president calls on Republicans to allow measure raising the debt limit to come to a vote in the Senate.
United States President Joe Biden has warned Republicans in the US Senate not to play “Russian roulette” with the country’s economy by continuing to block legislation that would raise the statutory limit on US debt.
Democrats are pushing to raise the debt limit, which will be reached by mid-October, while Republicans have refused to go along with the proposal because they oppose Biden’s spending plans.
Democrats presently need 10 Senate Republicans to agree for the legislation to come up for a vote.
