The US Treasury chief has repeatedly called on Congress to agree to raise the $31.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing to avoid the “economic and financial catastrophe” that would occur if the United States defaults on its debts. British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, told the press that the situation posed a “very serious” threat for the world economy. “It would be absolutely devastating if the United States saw its GDP derailed by not reaching an agreement,” Hunt declared on the sidelines of the G7 meetings.
Yellen said that his estimate last week that the Treasury might not be able to meet its payment obligations already on June 1 was consistent with Friday’s report from the Congressional Budget Office, which warned of a “significant risk” of default in the first two weeks of June.

Unlike most developed countriesUnited States establishes a maximum debt limit. Since the government spends more than it earns, lawmakers must periodically raise that cap.
