The United States Trade Representative shall consider the viability and utility of negotiating digital trade agreements with like-minded countries and to what degree such agreements may provide an opportunity to address digital barriers, deter censorship, promote the free flow of information, support privacy, protect sensitive information, protect communications regarding human and worker rights, and promote digitally enabled commerce. With respect to any negotiations of an agreement facilitating digital trade, the Trade Representative shall consult closely and on a timely basis with the appropriate congressional committees, keep those committees fully apprised of those negotiations, and provide to those committees, including staff with appropriate security clearance, access to the text of any negotiating proposal of the United States not later than 5 business days before tabling the proposal in the negotiation.
