WASHINGTON — A flurry of last-minute deal-makingon the Senate floor Thursday rescued PresidentBarack Obama's ambitious trade agenda fromdefeat, breaking a filibuster to advance legislationthat would empower the president to complete asweeping, 12-nation Pacific trade accord.
华盛顿——周四,参议院在最后时刻进行了一系列交易,打破了阻止法案推进的冗长演说拖延战术,使得贝拉克·奥巴马总统雄心勃勃的贸易议程免于失败。该法案将授权总统完成一个覆盖太平洋地区12国的一揽子贸易协定。
For the second time this month, Democraticopponents nearly brought down a carefully brokered deal to give the president authority tocomplete a trade accord spanning the Pacific and encompassing 40 percent of the world'seconomy on products ranging from airplanes to running shoes.
这是民主党内的反对者本月第二次差点推翻精心安排的交易。这样的交易将授权总统完成一项跨越太平洋并涵盖40%的世界经济产出的贸易协定,其中涉及的产品大至飞机,小至跑鞋。
But with the legislation seemingly headed to defeat, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., themajority leader, began deal-making, primarily to persuade enough Democrats to support themeasure. He agreed to bring an extension of the Export-Import Bank to a vote before itsauthorization lapses June 30, and he promised Ohio's senators a vote on an amendment toaid the embattled steel industry.
