The bill would repeal the 1988 law that requires the Treasury Department to determine whether foreign countries are manipulating their currencies, and instead would require Treasury to list those countries with "fundamentally misaligned" currencies that have "a material adverse impact" on the U.S. economy.
The bill also seeks to add teeth to the currency issue by providing punitive steps that the U.S. government can take if a country with a "misaligned currency" refuses to negotiate, or, after negotiations commence, refuses to "adopt appropriate policies to eliminate" the misalignment.
The bill also sets up a consultation process with the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees, with the USTR general counsel required to appear before the committees before the report on priority foreign country trade practices is submitted.
