Former President Donald Trump told congressional Republicans on Wednesday evening that they should risk the stability of the US and global economy by defaulting on the nation's debt unless "massive" spending cuts are passed in exchange.
"I say to the Republicans out there, congressmen and senators, if they don't give you massive cuts you are going to have to do a default," Trump said during CNN's GOP primary town hall in New Hampshire.
