Instead of just having the ustr as the lead negotiator, as in normal trade talks, the Commerce Department is in charge of the non-trade portfolio.

In announcing the launch, Katherine Tai, the United States Trade Representative (ustr), pledged to " keep Congress close" in shaping the ipef--a far cry from putting it to a vote.

在宣布启动该计划时，美国贸易代表邰丽华(Katherine Tai)承诺在制定ipef时会“与国会保持密切联系”——这与最终送去表决相距甚远。
