The Senate will not consider a critical trade deal among the United States, Canada, and Mexico until it completes President Trump’s impeachment trial next year.

“That will have to come up, in all likelihood, after the trial is finished in the Senate,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday.

The White House and Democrats were hoping for a vote this month on the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, or USMCA, which is an overhaul of the NAFTA trade deal that many lawmakers believe was flawed and hurt the U.S. economy.

House Democrats, who had been negotiating for tighter labor enforcement language, among other changes, announced Tuesday they reached a deal with the White House.

A Democratic leadership aide said the House could vote on the USMCA as soon as next week, but lawmakers generally seek time to review expansive trade agreements, and several Democrats told the Washington Examiner they had yet to look at the terms of the deal.

McConnell ended any hope of a 2019 finish.

Congress is set to adjourn for the year on Dec. 20.

“We will not be doing USMCA in the Senate between now and next week,” McConnell said.

The announcement gives more time for lawmakers to review the deal, and it puts pressure on lawmakers in both parties to agree to quickly dismiss the charges against Trump.

The Senate is expected to receive two articles of impeachment from the House based on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate is required to take up impeachment articles in a trial that will take place in the Senate every day of the week except Sunday until lawmakers vote for conviction or vote to dismiss the charges.

McConnell said the Senate would hear the case that House managers present, and then decide whether to call witnesses, which would drag out the trial.

“Or it could decide that they’ve heard enough and they believe they know what would happen and move to vote on the two articles of impeachment,” McConnell said.

It would take 51 votes to dismiss the charges, and that is what is likely to happen, McConnell said.

“I said I would be totally surprised if there were 67 senators to remove the president, and that remains my view,” McConnell said, referring to the supermajority vote that would be required in the Senate to convict Trump.

In the meantime, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer will brief senators on the deal in the coming weeks.

“From my perspective, it’s not as good as I had hoped,” McConnell said of the USMCA. “We’ll have to look at the whole package. We’ll have to look at the details.”
