Plain-language summary
Waives the freedom-of-emigration restrictions in sections 402(a) and 402(b) of the Trade Act of 1974 as they apply to Vietnam, using authority under section 402(c)(2) of that Act. The waiver follows a report to Congress required by that same provision. It allows normal trade relations considerations involving Vietnam to proceed without the emigration-related restrictions the Act would otherwise impose.

Legal standing
This space holds court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to this order, each linked to the court record it comes from. It is empty on every order: an empty panel means this site publishes nothing here, not that nothing has happened to the order.
