Plain-language summary
Invoking the Trade Act of 1974, the order waives the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of that Act with respect to Turkmenistan, after the President reported to Congress as required under the Act's provisions. Section 402, known as the Jackson-Vanik amendment, restricts trade benefits such as normal trade relations status for countries that limit emigration rights; this waiver removes those restrictions specifically for Turkmenistan. The order cites the President's authority under the Constitution and the Trade Act, including subsections 402(c)(2) and (d), which allow such waivers once the required congressional report has been made.
