Quick Glance: McCarthy and Biden Have 'Productive' Debt Ceiling Talks - But No Agreement Despite Looming Default
  • President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) both described their Monday evening meeting to discuss raising the debt ceiling as 'productive' - but differences between the two leaders still exist as a June 1 deadline to avert a federal default gets closer.

  • McCarthy said the tone of the meeting was better than any previous negotiation, but he did not hear anything from the president indicating that the two had reached common ground beyond their shared desire to strike a deal.

  • According to McCarthy, there are no Pentagon cuts or tax increases on the table, two areas where potential disagreements with the White House could arise. McCarthy added that he opposes a short-term debt ceiling increase.

  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reaffirmed on Sunday that June 1 is a hard deadline for the federal government to raise the debt ceiling before it is no longer able to pay its bills. A default on federal obligations would jeopardize the fulfillment of federal commitments and most experts believe it would be economically disastrous.

Quick Glance: Debt Ceiling Deal Imperils Environment, Critics Say
  • The deal to raise the US debt ceiling will have significant ramifications for the climate and nature. Environmentalists have warned that it will fast-track a controversial gas pipeline in West Virginia and limit the scope of environmental reviews for future developments.

  • Environmentalists reacted in outrage at the deal, arguing that the 300-mile (480km) pipeline, which will bring fracked gas from West Virginia to southern Virginia, will endanger hundreds of waterways, threaten landscapes including the nearby Appalachian trail and worsen the climate crisis.

  • Under the deal, reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act will be limited to just two years for federal projects.

  • Environmental groups are calling for Democrats to block the debt deal when it is voted upon in Congress this week. They are already angered by Biden’s ongoing embrace of large fossil fuel projects, such as the recently approved Willow oil drilling operation in Alaska.
