Washington, May 14 (TIWN) US President Joe Biden said that Senate Republicans will give him a revised infrastructure offer next week as the two sides seek compromise on the issue.

"We had a very, very good meeting...and I am very optimistic that we can reach a reasonable agreement," Biden said after a meeting with a group of six Republican senators at the White House.  "I laid out what I thought we should be doing, how it should be paid for. And my colleagues in the Senate came back and said they'll come back to me with a counteroffer of what they are prepared to do and fund, and how to fund it, and then we'll talk again next week," he said.  Following the meeting, Shelley Moore Capito, Republican ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, also said both sides voiced their desire to reach a bipartisan agreement.  "We promised to come back with another offer that he will react to then and counter-offer. We did what we intended to do, which was get next steps, be very cordial and ready to deal," Capito told Fox News.
