The new offer shifts investments in research and development, manufacturing, supply chains and small business \u201cout of the negotiation and into other efforts,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>The counterproposal matches <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/19\/biden-and-top-white-house-advisers-plan-bipartisan-infrastructure-outreach-blitz\/\">Republicans<\/a>\u2018 push to reduce funding request for broadband and inches closer to their request regarding investment costs for roads and bridges. Psaki noted that Republican\u2019s original offer excluded various proposals that the administration feels is \u201ckey to our competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, the counterproposal does include various topics left out by Republicans, such as clean <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/01\/biden-infrastructure-plan-climate-change-green-agenda-subsidies-electric-vehicles\/\">energy<\/a> and workforce training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our view this is the act \u2013 the art, I should say, of seeking common ground,\u201d Psaki said Friday. \u201cThis proposal exhibits a willingness to come down in size, giving on some areas that are important to the president \u2013 otherwise they wouldn\u2019t have been in the proposal \u2013 while also staying firm in areas that are most vital to rebuilding our infrastructure and industries of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s counterproposal comes after Senate Republicans proposed a $568 billion cut for the infrastructure plan. Negotiations are ongoing and Psaki noted that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, National Economic Adviser Brian Deese and others were meeting virtually with Republicans to discuss.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7197647\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"36\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7197647\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7197647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232985115-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg arrives for a news conference after touring the construction site atop the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge on May 19, 2021 in Washington, DC.
