US House approves trade bill to help Haiti
WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON May 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a bill to help Haiti rebuild its economy by opening the U.S. market to more Haitian-made clothing and textiles.
The bill, the result of a deal struck last week by top lawmakers, now goes to a Senate for a vote. President Barack Obama is expected to sign it when it reaches his desk.
