Former U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Republicans in Congress, who are at odds with the Biden administration over the federal debt ceiling, not to yield even if it leads to a federal default. He urged negotiations to force him into default if he failed to extract concessions on spending cuts.
Trump, who leads the race for the Republican presidential nomination, said at a town hall meeting hosted by CNN in New Hampshire, “Let’s say to the Republicans out there, the senators, if they don’t commit to massive spending cuts. , the default is unavoidable,” he argued.
