“They’re just unreasonable,” said Rep. Graves, a Republican negotiator, who said talks had been “paused.” It is unclear whether negotiations will resume today or over the weekend, he said.
“Unless they’re going to be part of a rational conversation regarding how they can actually move forward and do the right thing, I’m not going to sit here and keep talking to myself to no avail,” Graves said. House Finance Committee Chairman Henry (Republican) stood by and spoke.
The day before, Mr. McHenry said of negotiations on a debt ceiling to avoid a US default.It’s far from the end,” he said.
