What this bill would do
This bill gives the President the power to extend normal trade relations treatment to products from certain countries. It does this by allowing the President to decide that title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 should no longer apply to a covered country. Once this determination is made, the President can proclaim the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to that country's products. After this takes effect, title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 will stop applying to the covered country. A covered country is defined as any country except Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea.
