WASHINGTON Efforts to strike a bipartisan deal on an infrastructure package are in jeopardy after Senate Republicans rejected a smaller $1.7 trillion counteroffer Friday from President Joe Biden s administration, exposing wide gaps that remained in negotiations.
The setback, following weeks of talks that accelerated in recent days, raises major doubts over Biden s goal to pass a sweeping infrastructure bill with support from both Democrats and Republicans.
In his counteroffer cutting an original $2.3 trillion package, Biden proposed minor concessions to remove funding for research and development, supply chains, manufacturing and small businesses. Yet it would keep tax increases that Republicans have said they won t support under any circumstances.
