Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that the Senate wouldn’t be taking up the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal this year.

In fact, a vote on the deal, known as USMCA, likely won’t happen until after the expected impeachment trial, which would take place if the House votes to impeach President Donald Trump.
