White House Refuses to Negotiate Over Debt Ceiling

Friday, 13 January 2023 02:39 PM EST

The White House said Friday it will not negotiate over the debt ceiling and there are no discussions underway about eliminating it.

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Congress must act to increase the debt ceiling after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the country will likely hit the $31.4 trillion statutory debt limit on Jan. 19.

That will force Treasury to launch extraordinary cash management measures that can prevent default until early June.
