US Senators Say They Reached Deal On Infrastructure
By AFP - Agence France Presse

A bipartisan group of 10 US senators said Thursday they have reached a tentative agreement on a "realistic" infrastructure plan, days after talks between President Joe Biden and Republican lawmakers collapsed.

The agreement, considerably less ambitious than Biden's original $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan, would be "fully paid for and not include tax increases," the five Democrats and five Republicans said in a brief statement.


"Our group... has worked in good faith and reached a bipartisan agreement on a realistic, compromise framework to modernize our nation's infrastructure and energy technologies," they said.

A deal is far from certain. Details of the plan were omitted from the statement, suggesting there are questions about whether its current form will pass muster with both parties and the White House.
