President Donald Trump will meet with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders on Monday, the Washington Examiner confirmed, ahead of a looming government shutdown on Oct. 1.

Trump will meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), per a White House official. Negotiations between the parties have been at a standstill as Republicans argue they have done their job and rallied behind a “clean” short-term spending deal, which punts the funding deadline to Nov. 21.
