United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to meet with top congressional Republicans later today to discuss US President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," Politico reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Bessent will meet with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo, and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett. The officials are expected to meet at 4:00 pm ET today at the Capitol, with the meeting's agenda reportedly including a discussion on the next steps in the GOP tax bill.

Trump previously stated that the bill will "unleash economic prosperity," while Hasset said he expects the tax bill to pass by early summer.
