White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a Friday press briefing that the White House will work with Detroit as the city files for bankruptcy, but insisted that the issue is between “the city and its creditors.”
“We will of course, as we would with any city, work with that city and have policy discussions with leaders in that city and make suggestions and offer assistance where we can,” Carney said.
He added that the matter of Detroit’s solvency is “one that has to be resolved between the city and its creditors.”
Asked what kind of assistance the White House could offer to Detroit, Carney wouldn’t elaborate.
