GOP embrace of $1 trillion infrastructure package could help make a deal:  Buttigieg - ABC News

 

Senate Republicans' potential embrace of a $ 1 trillion infrastructure package is an encouraging sign a bipartisan deal could be reached, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

 

"They seem to be เล่นยิงปลา embracing the idea that about a trillion is appropriate. So there's movement in the right direction," he told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "But a lot of concerns - about things that are not in their counteroffer - they're really important."

 

The White House recently presented a reduced infrastructure package totaling $ 1.7 trillion, slashing about $ 550 billion from President Joe Biden's initial infrastructure proposal. Senate Republicans countered that new offer on Thursday with a $ 928 billion proposal.

 

Biden, also on Thursday, said he would meet again with the Republicans in the next week - after the president's informal Memorial Day deadline - adding, "we have to finish this very soon."

 

"We remain very hopeful that we can get to a good place," Buttigieg said Sunday. "But as the president often says, 'inaction is not an option.' And we really are facing some serious time pressure as we look to that. "
