Update: Biden will visit Japan this week for the G-7 summit but will cancel the rest of his trip abroad to help oversee ongoing debt ceiling negotiations with congressional Republicans.
He had planned to make visits afterward to Papua New Guinea and then to the Quad Summit in Australia. Biden will instead return to Washington on Sunday.
Earlier Tuesday, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the White House was “reevaluating” the second part of Biden’s trip. The schedule change to Biden’s trip underscores how the White House has been consumed with the danger of defaulting on the nation’s debt. The president was meeting with the “Big Four” congressional leaders — including Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — on Tuesday afternoon. The Treasury Department has warned that the nation may hit its limit in early June.
