TORONTO (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said the date for the nation to reach its debt ceiling could change if courts interfere with U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies.
"We will never default on national debt," he told reporters at the U.S. Capitol after meeting with lawmakers. Bessent separately said the U.S. Senate could vote on Friday on Republicans' tax and spending measure and that he was confident the House would then pass that version.
