U.K.’s Cameron Cites Economic Risks of U.S. Shutdown

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron underscored the dangers stemming from the first partial U.S. government shutdown in 17 years as Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel told allies the U.S. would fulfill its overseas duties.

“It is a risk to the world economy if the U.S. can’t properly sort out its spending plans,” Cameron told BBC Radio 4’s “Today” program in Manchester, where his Conservative Party is holding its annual conference.
