US President Biden: Yes we will reach an infrastructure deal

Having recently heard from Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, President Joe Biden also conveyed optimism over reaching a deal on the much-awaited infrastructure spending bill.

While responding to the question on reaching an agreement over the infrastructure bill, President Biden said, “Yes we will.”

Following that, in a CNN Town Hall Speech, US President Biden said, “Most experts believe long-term inflation is not likely to get out of hand.”

“Bipartisan infrastructure pact to come by Monday,” added Biden while also saying that His economic plans will reduce inflation longer term.

It’s worth noting that the US Senators have already pushed back the opening debate on the much-awaited stimulus late Wednesday.
