House approves Trump’s flagship US- Mexico trade deal, day after impeachment vote
The US House of Representatives has given the green light to a trade deal between the US, Canada and Mexico that would replace NAFTA, known as the USMCA, passing the bill on to the Senate for another vote.
Сhanging NAFTA, the agreement that regulates trade between the neighbors, was one of President Donald Trump election campaign promises.
The sweeping trade deal was passed in the House on Thursday 385-41 and is set for a Senate vote sometime after the new year. If signed into law, the deal would establish new rules for commerce between the three countries, supplanting the longstanding North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.
