that monitors, that licenses perhaps and tries to sort of inform and measure the way ai is being used. i don t think or i would be amazed if he gets any support for actually that today, but if he gets the americans backing this summer in the autumn, that would be something. garrett, we are all experts in artificial intelligence now but do stay with us as you can see we are still waiting for that news conference with the british prime minister rishi sunak in the us presidentjoe biden. it is the first time that the prime minister has visited washington. we are expecting the two leaders to arrive in the east room of the white house anytime now. we willjust play you what they call a pool spray, speaking to journalists for a few minutes earlier in the oval office we will play that back for you while we wait. , ,., ,
sit down with congressional leaders both democrats and republicans and have a good conversation about where we go on tax policy and spending policy. reporter: so we learned really in advance of this meeting that the white house continues to telegraph what catastrophic events would happen ifs coun the country would default and janet yellen called up ceos to warn them about the consequences of brinkmanship from the republican side. but there is no doubt here that this would have really immeasurable impact on not only the economy but also 2024 as president biden announced that he will run for re-election. so we will see all four leaders today at the white house for a pool spray really as they sit down trying to find a way out of the stalemate and a really, really high profile high stakes time. and there is not a lot of time left here. the treasury department has been moving money around and delaying some investments in certain
right now. that is the ceiling we re at. the president meeting right now not only with kevin mccarthy, but with hakeem jefferys and mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. the first time the president and the speaker have discussed this very issue since back on february 1. let s go to jacqui heinrich with the latest. jacqui? the meeting has just begin. we re waiting for a playback of pool spray. we ll get video and then they ll do behind closed doors. what we heard is what we hear from the podium every day, which is that the white house has been clear, the president will not negotiate. that is despite campaigning being the uniter in chief and his own past votes in the senate against raising the debt ceiling over concerns about spending. at the white house, they continue to to refer to the house bill that would raise the ceiling with cuts as the default
