然而,在该法案看似即将走向失败之际,参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔(Mitch McConnell)开始做交易,主要是为了说服足够的民主党人予以支持。他同意在美国进出口银行(Export-Import Bank)的许可于6月30日到期之前进行延期问题的投票,并向来自俄亥俄州的参议员承诺,会让旨在扶持陷入困境的钢铁行业的一项修正案得以表决。
Those deals brought along 62 senators, just above the 60-vote threshold to keep the trade billfrom falling to a filibuster.
这些交易争取到了62名参议员的支持,刚刚超过让该贸易法案避免拖延战术所需的60票门槛。
“I want to thank the bipartisan group of senators who took a big step forward this morning ona trade agenda that is consistent with strong labor standards, strong environmentalstandards, and access to markets that too often are closed even as these other countries areselling goods in the United States, Obama told reporters at the White House.
“我想感谢这些来自两党的参议员。他们今天上午在贸易议程上向前迈了一大步。这一议程符合严格的劳工和环境标准。此外,有些国家正在向美国销售商品,与此同时它们的市场却往往是关闭的。这一议程将能让我们进入这些市场,奥巴马在白宫对记者说。
The fate of the trade promotion bill remains in doubt. The Senate must still vote on a series ofamendments — some highly contentious — before a final vote on the trade legislation,probably on Friday. If, as is now likely, it passes the Senate, it faces strong, bipartisanopposition in the House.
