Mexico's senate ratifies sweeping Asia-Pacific trade deal

Mexico’s Senate on Tuesday voted to ratify a Asia-Pacific trade agreement, making it the first of 11 signatory countries to back the arduously negotiated framework that was rejected by the United States.

Senators voted 73-24 to approve the pact, which was signed in March after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of talks within days of taking office last year.
