According to him, the creditworthiness of the United States can be preserved by raising the debt ceiling immediately.
The U.S. Treasury notified Congress in January that “extraordinary measures” had begun in connection with reaching the estimated national debt ceiling of $31.381 trillion. The White House is asking lawmakers to raise it unconditionally, and the Republican opposition-controlled House of Representatives attributes the move to spending cuts.
Meanwhile, Yellen stressed that without a decision on the national debt, the government cannot continue to fulfill all its obligations until 1 June.
