U.S. Treasury Secretary Optimistic About Debt Ceiling

Description

On Friday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that he is "100% confident" the debt ceiling "will be raised" before the federal government hits its borrowing limit. In a press conference, Mnuchin said, "The most important issue is that the debt ceiling will be raised in September. I've had discussions with leaders in both parties in both the House and Senate and we are on the same page: The government intends to pay its debts, and the debt ceiling will be raised." He then went on to add that there is "no scenario where the government will not be paying its bills."
