The White House said President Joe Biden will head to Japan this week to attend the G-7 summit but “we’re reevaluating the rest of the trip” amid ongoing debt ceiling negotiations with congressional Republicans.

The president is scheduled to leave Wednesday for Hiroshima. He had planned to then make a visit to Papua New Guinea before moving on to the Quad Summit in Australia, but National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that part of the trip is up in the air.

“We’re working through, thinking through the rest of the trip right now,” Kirby said during a White House briefing Tuesday when asked about Biden’s plans to travel to Australia.

“There hasn’t been a cancellation yet, but that could happen,” he added.

The stops in Australia and Papua New Guinea were meant to affirm the U.S. commitment to the Pacific as China’s influence in the region rises.

"[If] the trip gets truncated or changed or modified in any way, it it should be nothing more than a statement of maybe of the president putting his priorities where he believes they need to be,” Kirby said.

He spoke just minutes ahead of a second Oval Office meeting scheduled between Biden and the top four congressional leaders to discuss the debt ceiling.

World leaders “respect American leadership” and “know that our ability to pay our debts, is a key part of us credibility and leadership around the world,” Kirby said.
