Nancy Pelosi said there are no immediate plans for congressional leaders to meet with the Trump administration to avoid fiscal calamity as budget deadlines approach
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there are no immediate plans for congressional leaders to meet with the Trump administration to avert fiscal calamity as a trio of budget deadlines approaches, even as there are signs the president's negotiators are seeking to re-engage with her.
Pelosi’s comments come one day after a nonpartisan think tank’s report estimated the government could reach the debt limit in the first half of September, weeks earlier than initially estimated. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also told congressional leaders as much during their last meeting in June.
That has Congress and the White House staring down a series of critical fiscal deadlines, possibly beginning with the debt ceiling in early September. In addition, lawmakers have to agree McConnell told Senate Republicans on Tuesday that he’d spoken to Mnuchin and that the Treasury secretary planned to call Pelosi to set up more talks ahead of the August recess, according to Sen. Richard Shelby . Shelby asked McConnell if he was optimistic about success, and McConnell replied he was hopeful.
