The Biden administration on Friday cut its infrastructure bill proposal to $1.7 trillion to counter an offer proposed by GOP senators following talks between President Joe Biden and congressional leaders at the White House.
“In our view, this is the art of seeking common ground,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Friday. “This proposal exhibits a willingness to come down in size, giving on some areas that are important to the president ... while also staying firm in areas that are most vital to rebuilding our infrastructure and industries of the future.”
