(Washington Examiner) After weeks of wrangling, Senate lawmakers approved legislation that would give President Obama “fast track” powers to negotiate international trade deals.
The vote came after lawmakers defeated several “poison pill” amendments that would have made it difficult for the bill to become law.
“The trade legislation we passed is all about creating new opportunities for bigger paychecks, better jobs, and a stronger economy,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. “The tools it contains will allow us to knock down unfair foreign trade barriers that discriminate against American workers and products stamped ‘Made in the USA.’”
