The meeting follows a phone conversation Shelby had with Pelosi on Saturday on how to move the stalled talks forward.

“We’re going to meet tomorrow afternoon with Pelosi, I guess in the Speaker’s office. I got a notice an hour or so ago,” Shelby said Tuesday. “We’re having positive discussions."

Congressional leaders and senior administration officials announced progress when they met shortly before the Memorial Day recess.

Mnuchin said last week that the White House now supports combining a spending deal with legislation to raise the debt limit.

One outstanding difference between congressional leaders and the White House is over whether to raise statutory spending caps for the next two fiscal years or just for 2020.

The White House has indicated it would prefer a shorter deal that's likely to have a smaller impact on the federal deficit.
