Republican Congressmen should declare a default on the US economy in connection with the achievement of the national debt limit if the White House does not agree to make concessions and cut the budget, former President Donald Trump said on CNN.
“We have to start paying off our debts… I’m telling Republicans – congressmen, senators: if they don’t give you a massive cut [бюджета]you will have to default and I don’t believe they will default because I think the Democrats will absolutely concede, absolutely concede,” Trump said.
At the same time, Trump added that the default, in his opinion, would be “better than what we are doing right now, because we are spending money like drunken sailors.” The author of the question from the audience present in the hall asked the ex-president to clarify whether he considers it necessary to declare a default if the White House does not make concessions. “Well, you might as well do it now, because you will do it later, because we have to save this country. Our country is dying. Our country is being destroyed by stupid people, very stupid people,” Trump said in response.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that in the event of a default in the US, “the world will be in trouble.”
