Defense budget work<\/a> on Capitol Hill remains halted until Congress finds a compromise on the looming debt limit crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Armed Services Committee members<\/a> were supposed to begin public work on their initial draft of the annual defense authorization bill last week, but Republican leaders halted those plans until sometime next month. Senate lawmakers similarly have pushed back the defense policy work until mid-June, after they see what political deals are made in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congressional Budget Office<\/a> on Friday warned that the federal government is likely to run out of borrowing authority in early June<\/a>. White House officials have warned that triggering a national credit default will cause a host of problems for agencies, including potentially delaying pay for troops and civilian workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden was scheduled to meet with House and Senate leaders on the issue on Friday, but the meeting was scrapped as staff members continued behind-the-scenes negotiations. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has said if a deal isn\u2019t in place in the next two weeks, lawmakers won\u2019t have enough time to avoid potential problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
