WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Monday the administration and Congress are getting close to a deal on raising the U.S. debt ceiling and he has urged lawmakers to take action on the issue before their August recess.
“I think there is a preference on both parties, to the extent that we can agree on the debt ceiling and a budget deal, that is the first choice, and I think that we’re getting closer,” Mnuchin told reporters during a briefing at the White House.
