Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggests the Senate will vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement this week.
Bloomberg News expects a vote Thursday, as the Senate committees required to sign off on the implementing legislation are doing so quickly.
However, a final vote has not been confirmed.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved the agreement on a vote of 16-4 Tuesday morning.
The Senate Budget Committee also approved the trade agreement Tuesday.
Up next, the bill must be approved by the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, along with the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee today. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee changed its hearing from Thursday to today, and the Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to do the same, sending the agreement to the full Senate for approval.
The House of Representatives is expected to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate this week, but the trials won’t likely start until next week, offering a small window of opportunity for the Senate to pass the agreement.
