The US Treasury was forced to resort to "extraordinary" measures to keep the public debt on one level. In figures - this is 19.84 trillion dollars.

President Donald Trump had to ask the Senate to raise the debt threshold, as the country needed funds to restore the infrastructure and consequences of Hurricane Harvey,.

For the support of his initiative, Trump promised the Democrats to submit to the Senate bills from the Democratic Party. Earlier, the United States Senate approved the allocation of $ 15 billion to eliminate the consequences of Hurricane Harvey,.

In total, $ 300 billion is needed for restoration, which significantly increases the "threshold" of the national debt and can lead to serious financial consequences.

As reported in "URA-Inform," recently, US President Donald Trump approved the idea of ??raising the bar on public debt.
