WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Democrats and President Donald Trump are talking about scrapping the government’s debt limit.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says Trump suggested the idea in a Wednesday meeting at the White House.
The California Democrat tells reporters, “Now that’s something we can talk about.”
Pelosi said she and Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer of New York would discuss the idea with their party colleagues.

House Speaker Paul Ryan opposes the idea. He says it would encroach on Congress’ power of the purse and legislating authority.
