House votes to expand presidential trade negotiating power
The House approved a trade bill 216 to 215 to strengthen the president's authority to negotiate global agreements and submit them to Congress for a yes or no vote. The measure increases worker aid to 110 million annually, offers health subsidies, and omits some Senate provisions. The vote followed partisan clashes over procedural steps and legislative strategy. The bill aims to bolster House negotiators in talks with the Senate, while signaling continued debate over trade policy.
