UK Business Secretary: ‘Right-Wing Nutters In The American Congress’ Are The Biggest Threat To The World Financial System
The comments by Mr Cable, who is one of the most outspoken members of Britain’s coalition government, came as President Barack Obama vied with Republican lawmakers for a deal to avert an unprecedented debt default.
“The irony of the situation at the moment, with markets opening tomorrow morning, is that the biggest threat to the world financial system comes from a few right-wing nutters in the American Congress rather than the eurozone,” Cable told the BBC’s Andrew Marr on Sunday.
