Lawmakers and the White House have reportedly reached an agreement on a deal that could bring three pending trade agreements up for consideration on Capitol Hill, according to several Senate lawmakers.

Still, others close to the discussions urged caution on announcing a final deal. House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) is expected to release a statement on the pending deal sometime Tuesday, according to aides.
