Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy commented on US President Joe Biden's intention to run for a second term as president. McCarthy said Biden should have announced that he would finally sit down at the negotiating table and discuss a reasonable increase in the national debt limit in order to avoid the first default in US history.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia would proceed from the practical steps that Washington would take in real politics. Former President of the United States Donald Trump said that Biden's nomination could end in a world war.
