TPA bill a step forward in Senate

U.S. CapitolA Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill has taken a step forward in the U.S. Senate.  Senators voted 62 to 38 to limit debate on the bill, ending any chance of a filibuster.

Votes on amendments are still being allowed by Senate leaders. One of those is a bipartisan measure to allow negotiators to work on currency manipulation issues in Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks.

The National Corn Growers Association is one of many ag groups urging passage of “a clean” Trade Promotion Authority bill.  The NCGA opposes “any amendments that could prolong debate or jeopardize the legislation.

There are reports that the Senate could vote today on the TPA bill.
