WASHINGTON, March 14, 2013— -- House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, goes one-on-one with ABC News' Martha Raddatz in a "This Week" Sunday exclusive.

President Obama visited with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle this week, but the partisan divide over the country's financial future seems as wide as ever. Can any common ground be found between the vastly different budget priorities outlined by House Republicans and Senate Democrats this week? What about bipartisan efforts on immigration, as well as the push for more legislation on guns? And is President Obama's charm offensive making a difference?

House Speaker John Boehner answers those questions and more – only on "This Week" Sunday.

Then, the powerhouse roundtable debates all the week's politics, from budget battles in Washington to the future of the Catholic Church, with ABC News' George Will and Matthew Dowd; House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif.; co-host of NPR's All Things Considered Audie Cornish; and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, chair of Good360.

And as President Obama heads to the Middle East next week, a special foreign policy roundtable examines major challenges abroad, including the state of the war in Afghanistan and the growing cyber-security threat, with former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; former Bush National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley; and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chair Gen. James Cartwright (USMC, Ret.).

Plus, in this week's Sunday Spotlight, ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff reflects on the 10-year anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War.
