USA, clash over budget law, government risks "Shutdown"

  American President Joe Biden intervened in the clash over the budget law which has now become a routine in Washington and this time too an agreement should be reached to avoid the paralysis of government services. The Democratic president has blamed "a small group of Republican extremists" for the budget impasse that risks causing a budget impasse, a shutdown, within a week of its closure, and is calling on lawmakers to remedy it, urging lawmakers to resolve the issue. Speaking at the Congressional Black Caucus awards dinner, Biden said he and the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, had reached an agreement on government spending levels. "Now a small group of Republican extremists - in his words - do not want to respect the agreement and so all Americans could be forced to pay the price".
