Myrtle Beach: Under heavy debate pressure from his rivals, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney defended his record as a venture capitalist, insisted he bears no responsibility for attack ads aired by his allies and grudgingly said Monday night he might release his income tax returns this spring.

Washington: The United States House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected a plan backed by President Barack Obama that would have extended a 2-per cent payroll tax cut for two months for millions of Americans and bought time for talks on a full-year renewal.

Washington: US millionaires would be hit with a new 5 per cent surtax to pay for US President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs program under a new funding plan unveiled on Wednesday by his fellow Democrats in the Senate.

Washington: The world's largest economy was headed towards an unprecedented default, and all Washington wanted to talk about was the manner in which the president had left a room. A White House meeting in mid-July between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders had ended with sharp words as Obama clashed with the brash Republican House majority leader, Eric Cantor. Now Cantor was back on Capitol Hill, dishing details to a...

Washington: The United States stepped back from the brink of default on Tuesday but congressional approval of a last-ditch deficit-cutting plan failed to dispel fears of a credit downgrade and future tax and spending feuds. President Barack Obama and lawmakers from across the political divide expressed relief over the hard-won compromise to raise the country's borrowing authority after weeks of rancorous partisan battles. Nevertheless, US stocks tumbled, turning negative for...

Washington: Top congressional Republicans held fresh talks on Saturday with President Barack Obama to try to break a deadlock on raising the debt limit and expressed confidence that a default by the world's largest economy could be avoided.

Washington: Democrats offered a concession on Friday seeking to forge a last-ditch compromise with Republicans to avoid a crippling default, but a bitter divide remained before Tuesday's deadline to raise the debt ceiling. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a deficit-cutting plan and the Democratic-led Senate quickly rejected it, moves that underscored the ideological differences but also opened the way to start negotiating a deal. The back-to-back votes broke weeks...
