TL;DR Summary

President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the debt limit and government spending. The meeting comes after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that the US could default on its debt as early as June 1 if the borrowing limit is not raised. Both sides are digging in their heels, with Democrats pushing for a "clean" debt ceiling increase and Republicans pushing for spending cuts to be tied to any lift of the debt ceiling. The House is also set to vote on a border security and immigration reform bill, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing on the conflict in Sudan.
