According to ChainCatcher, U.S. President Biden said in a speech on the debt ceiling: "There were productive talks yesterday. I am confident that an agreement (on the debt ceiling) will be reached and that the United States will not default. We must unite because there is no other choice. The leaders agreed that we will not default. I am proud of the progress the government has made in reducing the deficit. A group of negotiators met on Tuesday night and we will meet again on Wednesday. I will keep in close contact with the negotiators during my visit."
Biden also said: "We will continue to discuss until we reach an agreement. A press conference on the debt issue will be held on Sunday." (Source link)
