That the House of Representatives— calls upon the President to consult with the House of Representatives and the Senate in keeping with the consultation requirements of the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015 (title I of Public Law 114–26 ; 19 U.S.C. 4201 et seq.) to consider opportunities to promote further economic and commercial activity and cooperation between the United States and Japan, including by way of a trade agreement between the United States and Japan; calls upon the President to invite Japan to begin discussions toward establishing the basis for closer trade ties between the United States and Japan, in keeping with the consultation requirements of such Act; recalls that section 103(d) of such Act ( 19 U.S.C. 4202(d) ) directs the President to commence negotiations covering tariff and nontariff barriers to United States trade where the President determines that such negotiations are feasible and timely and would benefit the United States; recalls further that section 102 of such Act ( 19 U.S.C. 4201 ) sets forth the trade negotiating objectives of the United States and further expects that these congressionally mandated negotiating objectives will be achieved in any trade agreement between the United States and Japan; and urges the President, throughout discussions with Japan and in close consultation with the House of Representatives and the Senate, to determine whether negotiation of a trade agreement with Japan would be likely to achieve the negotiating objectives established by such Act and, if such negotiation would be likely to achieve such objectives, to commence negotiations toward a trade agreement with Japan as soon as appropriate.
