However, we believe risks have risen that the debt limit will not be raised or suspended before the x-date and consequently that the government could begin to miss payments on some of its obligations,” the agency said.

Fitch cautioned that “sizable payments” on the US's debt are due between June 1-2, setting the x-date (the day a default would occur) as the beginning of June.

The ratings agency said: "The failure to succeed in a deal to lift or droop the debt restrict by the x-date could be a unfavorable sign of the broader governance and willingness of the US to honor its obligations in a well timed style, which might be unlikely to be in line with a ‘AAA’ score, in Fitch’s view."

It added: "The brinkmanship over the debt ceiling, failure of the U.S. authorities to meaningfully sort out medium-term fiscal challenges that can result in rising funds deficits and a rising debt burden sign draw back dangers to US creditworthiness."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said that tensions between negotiators are reaching "breaking level" because the US hurtles in the direction of that x-date.
