This bill grants the President authority to extend nondiscriminatory treatment , also known as Normal Trade Relations (NTR), to products originating from specific countries. This involves the President making a determination that Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 , which imposes restrictions on trade relations, should no longer be applicable to a designated "covered country." Upon such a presidential determination and proclamation, Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 will cease to apply to that nation. Notably, the definition of a "covered country" explicitly excludes Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea , meaning these three nations cannot receive NTR under the provisions of this legislation.
