WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - A second meeting on Friday between White House and Republican congressional negotiators on raising the federal government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling broke up with no progress cited by either side and no additional meeting set. "We had a very, very candid discussion talking about where we are, talking about where things need to be," Republican Representative Garret Graves told reporters following a brief meeting in the Capitol with White House officials. He echoed earlier remarks by House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy that progress needed to be made on changing the "trajectory" of U.S. government deficit spending. A second Republican negotiator, Representative Patrick McHenry, said McCarthy would be briefed on the status of the talks. Senior White House adviser Steve Ricchetti left the meeting room telling reporters that he was "not assessing" the talks.

A White House official said a deal remained possible.
