WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden
on Monday urged House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy
to take the potential for a debt default off the table, saying
the United States is "not a deadbeat nation."
"The most immediate thing we can do is ensure continued
reliance of our economy and the financial system. The most
important thing we have to do in that regard is to make sure the
threat by the speaker of the House to default on the national
debt is off the table," Biden told a small business event.
