On May 28, local time, U.S. President Biden said in response to a reporter's question that the U.S. will not completely lift the debt ceiling.。The statement came after he announced that he had reached a final agreement with House Speaker McCarthy on raising the debt ceiling.。When asked by a reporter whether he thought the United States should completely lift the debt ceiling, Biden replied, "No, I think lifting the debt ceiling would be more controversial."。But Biden added that he would look at "whether the 14th Amendment needs to be used in the next year or two to decide whether the debt ceiling needs to be enacted annually."。
