White House says it is committed to raising U.S. debt ceiling

The White House said on Thursday it was committed to making sure Congress raises the nation`s debt limit even as the president described the looming legislative process as a "mess."

"It`s our job to inform Congress of the debt ceiling and it`s their job they raise it," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters. "We need to make sure we pay our debts. We`re still committed to making sure that gets raised."
