WASHINGTON—The Senate on Jan. 16 approved the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) in an 89 to 10 vote, giving President Donald Trump another victory on trade.

The Senate approval comes a day after Trump signed the “phase one” trade deal with China that marked a milestone in the nearly 2-year-old trade dispute between the world’s two biggest economies.
