WASHINGTON - Republican senators said on Tuesday that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer was making progress in negotiations with Democrats on passage of a new North American trade deal and the talks were being handled “in good faith.”
The Senate’s number two Republican, John Thune, said Lighthizer told them he was “still negotiating with Speaker Pelosi and he thinks there is a sincere interest in the House in trying to get this done, and so hopefully they can find a way to get it to passed by the House.” Thune said Lighthizer did not specify a time frame for a vote, but Republicans are aiming for passage by Congress’ August recess, avoiding potential budget clashes in the fall and an intensification of campaign activity for the 2020 presidential election.
