Former Dallas, Texas Mayor Ron Kirk was confirmed Wednesday afternoon as United States Trade Representative.
In a 92-5 vote, the Senate confirmed Kirk as the top U.S. official for negotiating trade agreements.
Kirk will immediately inherit a delicate trade detente with Mexico; the U.S. closed down some trucking corridors on the Texas-Mexico border, leading to Mexican retaliatory tariffs.
