The president is scheduled to attend a United Nations conference on climate change on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
White House officials on Tuesday downplayed the need to lock down a deal on President Joe Biden’s expansive Build Back Better agenda ahead of his overseas trip to meet with other global leaders in Europe.
Biden has personally expressed his hope that Congress could vote on his administration's social spending package this week, but both White House press secretary Jen Psaki and national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday that the president's negotiating positions at the U.N. climate change conference would not be diminished if he does not have a domestic deal in hand when he arrives.
Democrats in recent days have expressed optimism that they are nearing a breakthrough toward an agreement on Biden’s social spending package, originally billed at $3.5 trillion over 10 years but has since been whittled down closer to $1.5 trillion due to reservations from key Senate holdouts. "I think what the allies are looking at is the effort that President Biden has undertaken to design and now negotiate an ambitious, effective, practical set of investments in climate, clean energy, infrastructure and economic development in the United States,” Sullivan said. “They want to see the United States making these investments. They also recognize that the United States has a set of democratic institutions, has a Congress, that this is a process that it needs to be worked through.
