 US debt ceiling: Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy seek to break impasse. President Joe Biden and top Republican Kevin McCarthy have spoken on the phone, in a change of tone in stalled talks on lifting the US debt ceiling. Mr Biden told reporters the call "went well" and the two would talk again on Monday, as he arrived back at the White House from the G7 summit in Japan. The two sides remain at odds over budget cuts demanded by the Republicans as a condition for raising the ceiling. Failure to do so by June could result in the US defaulting on its debt. That would mean the federal government could not borrow more money or pay all its bills. The Treasury Department has warned that a default could begin on 1 June.
