Trump against cutting Medicare in debt limit deal

Former United States President Donald Trump said in a video released on Friday that congressional Republicans should not vote to reduce Medicare or Social Security by "a single penny" and that they should not "help pay for" US President "Joe Biden's reckless spending spree."

Trump presumably referred to the potential negotiations between the White House and congressional parties on possible federal spending cuts that will aim to push the country's debt under the upper limit that was reached earlier this week. "Biden has blown out the federal budget, wasted trillions on left-wing lunacy and the ridiculous Green New Deal," the Republican politician added.

The GOP should look to "cut waste, fraud and abuse" in the budget and leave "the benefits our seniors worked for and paid for their entire lives" out of spending cut proposals, Trump pointed out.
