A bill to authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to products of certain countries.

This bill deals with trade rules between the United States and most other countries, except Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea. There is an existing law called the Jackson-Vanik amendment that blocks normal trade status for certain countries unless they meet requirements about letting their people freely leave the country. This bill would let the President decide that those trade restrictions no longer apply to most countries and would also allow the President to give those countries permanent normal trade status.
