Signing of the updates to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Tuesday by officials from the three countries was hailed by both Democrats and Republicans in Washington.
The House vote on the pact is expected to come next week, with some suggesting December 19 after the House finishes its action on the articles of impeachment.
Senate approval, however, is not expected until early 2020. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday that a Senate vote “will have to come up in all likelihood right after the (impeachment) trial is finished in the Senate.”
