There have been some indications that an agreement is near, though CNBC's Ylan Mui reported earlier that the two sides remain significantly apart.
Mnuchin said everybody involved is aware of the risks that the inability to reach a deal would bring. "I've discussed that with the leadership of both the House and the Senate," he said. "That's why I've encouraged them to raise the debt ceiling before they leave."
