U.S. Senate Republicans narrowly agreed on Tuesday to open debate on a bill to repeal Obamacare, but the party’s seven-year effort to roll back Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law still faces significant hurdles.

As the Senate hurtles toward a potential vote next week to roll back the Affordable Care Act, Republican lawmakers still don't know what legislation they will consider or what impact it could have on health coverage for tens of millions of Americans.

Republicans in the U.S. Congress were in chaos over healthcare legislation after a second attempt to pass a bill in the Senate collapsed late on July 17, with President Donald Trump calling for an outright repeal of Obamacare and others seeking a change in direction toward bipartisanship.

U.S. Senate Republican leaders postponed a vote on a healthcare overhaul on June 27 after resistance from members of their own party, and President Donald Trump summoned Republican senators to the White House to urge them to break the impasse.

US President Donald Trump stuck to his election campaign promise to withdraw the US from the Paris Climate change agreement, despite the barrage of criticism he received from world leaders and pundits around the globe.

The U.S. Senate will vote next week on the ratification of Montenegro as the newest member of the NATO alliance, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday, after the Trump administration urged lawmakers to take up the long-delayed matter, Reuters reported.

Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto beat President Trump to the punch Thursday — telling the White House that he has canceled his trip to Washington because of Trump’s insistence on building a border wall.

According to sources, President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Bush administration official Elaine Chao as his transportation secretary, a position likely to take on tremendous importance in light of Trump’s intention to invest billions in rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure.

U.S. President Barack Obama achieved perhaps the greatest foreign policy victory of his six years in office on Sept.10, when a Republican-backed effort to kill the Iran nuclear agreement was narrowly blocked in the U.S. Senate, clearing the way for the deal's implementation. 

The U.S. Senate on April 28 rejected an effort to require an international nuclear agreement with Iran to be considered a treaty, which would have forced any deal to be approved by two-thirds of the Senate's 100 members before it could take effect.
