At the time of this meeting, no further progress had been made on negotiations in regard to raising the limit. Leader McConnell said default was not an option, and Speaker McCarthy criticized the White House for waiting over three months to negotiate with Republicans about the debt and the federal budget.

All leaders said talks regarding the debt limit were ongoing.
