that Americans feel government spending sits
at the center of the current debt ceiling crisis.
According to a poll of 1,500 adults, at least half said they
think the government is overspending, while an equal
number want commitments to cut spending.
If the debt ceiling is not raised or suspended, the
U.S. could default on the $31.5 trillion debt it owes,
which would have significant global consequences.
Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy points
to a bill passed by House Republicans that
"avoids default and tackles reckless spending.".

The Biden administration said it would repurchase oil when prices remained
near or below $67 to $72 a barrel.
This way, taxpayers would reportedly benefit since the barrels were sold for a much higher price.

France has promised Ukraine dozens more light tanks and armoured vehicles after President Emmanuel Macron met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris as Kyiv readies for a widely expected counter-offensive. France will train and equip several battalions with tens of armoured vehicles and light tanks including AMX-10RC. The French AMX-10RCs vehicles have high speed and manoeuvrability, allowing them to move quickly on the battlefield and change positions. So far, France has supplied Ukraine with an array of weaponry, include air defense systems, light tanks, howitzers and other arms and equipment and fuel. Paris would also focus its efforts “in supporting Ukraine’s air defence capacities in order to defend its population against Russian strikes”. The visit to Paris was part of Zelenskyy’s whirlwind weekend tour of several key European allies to drum up military and financial support ahead of an expected major Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces. .
