U.S. Senate on Wednesday approved the so-called fast-track trade legislation, and the bill will be sent to the White House for signing.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday failed to approve the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) legislation, which would have given aid to U.S. workers who lose their jobs as a result of U.S. trade deals with other countries, delivering a major blow to President Barack Obama 's trade agenda.
