President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday that the United States is at risk of losing its edge in the global economy if the Congress does not approve its economic plans for infrastructure and financial aid .

Biden traveled to Michigan to promote the $ 1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, which is stalled in the Lower House because Democratic progressives want to see the $ 3.5 billion financial aid plan approved earlier in Congress , and then consider the approval of the infrastructure bill that has already been approved in the Senate.

The president argued that the United States had “taken its foot off the gas” in investing in infrastructure and education, when he presented his agenda to an audience of Democratic legislators in Michigan, according to The Hill.
