Washington -
The Fitch credit rating agency has warned that it is reviewing the US government's AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, citing the impasse in Washington that has raised the threat of a default on the nation's debt.
Fitch placed the US credit rating on negative watch on Tuesday, a step that would precede an actual downgrade. The agency said it expects to conclude its review within six months.
