Presidential Trade Transparency Act of 2017
This bill requires the President to submit to Congress a report containing a full and complete statement of the President's income earned, assets held, and liabilities owed in the preceding 12 months that are associated with a foreign country:
- with which the United States is negotiating a trade or investment agreement,
- that is subject to a presidential trade enforcement action determination modifying the tariff treatment of imported articles from such country, or
- that is designated as eligible for preferential trade treatment under a trade preference program.
If the President fails to report such information to Congress:
- any instrument providing for the modification of such tariff treatment shall have no force or effect, and
- the bill implementing such a trade or investment agreement shall not be eligible for trade authorities (fast track) procedures under the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015.
