(VOVworld) – The US House of Representatives delayed the vote on the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) bill until July 30. The TAA bill, expected to be voted on Tuesday, will grant the Obama administration the fast-track authority to advance trade negotiations.

Kevin Smith, the spokesman for US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, said the postponement would allow President Barack Obama to have more discussions with Democratic representatives.
Meanwhile, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made several statements on Sunday and Monday expressing her support for the Democratic representatives, saying that President Obama needed to find a better deal for American workers and the economy.
