Summary
This order waives parts of the Trade Act of 1974 that previously applied to the Republic of Belarus. The President cites subsection 402(c)(2), notes the law continues to apply under subsection 402(d), and states that a report to Congress was made.
By waiving subsections (a) and (b) of section 402, the order removes those specific Trade Act provisions as they apply to Belarus and changes how United States trade law treats that country.
