White House officials and Republican leaders scrambled on Sunday to reassure global markets the United States would avert a debt default. But the two sides gave no sign they were moving closer to a deal.
美国白宫官员与共和党领导人在周日仓促行动,向全球市场保证美国将会避免债务违约.但是两党并没有朝着达成协议的方向靠近的迹象.
The White House warned that there would be a "few stressful days" ahead for financial markets, with the deadline to lift the 14.3 trillion U.S. dollars of borrowing limit now only nine days away. The two sides are deadlocked over Republicans' demands for a short-term debt-limit increase.
白宫警告称,现在距离提高14.3万亿美元借贷限额的期限只有9天的时间,未来金融市场将是”压力沉重的日子”. 共和党人要求一个短期的借贷限额提高,双方因此僵持不下.
