Jan. 16 (UPI) -- The Senate on Thursday approved the new trade deal for the United States, Mexico and Canada, handing President Donald Trump a policy victory amid the start of his impeachment trial.
The chamber passed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement by a vote of 89-10, which sent the measure to Trump's desk for approval. With his signature, the pact will then only require approval from Canada's House of Commons to enter legal force. Mexico signed off on the accord last June and approved a revised version last month.
