(b) The Secretary of the Treasury must instruct the U.S. Executive Directors of the multilateral development banks to use America's voice and vote at each bank: (1) To oppose bank financing of projects that produce, or will produce, commodities, products, or minerals for export if: (A) The commodity, product, or mineral is subsidized in a way inconsistent with Article XVI.3 of the GATT 1994 (as defined in section 3501(1)(B) of title 19) or Article 3.1(a) of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (referred to in section 3511(d)(12) of title 19); and (B) Financing from sources other than multilateral development banks isn't also supporting the project. (2) To oppose bank financing for producing a commodity, product, or mineral for export that: (A) Is likely to be in surplus on world markets once production starts; and (B) Would likely, once exported, injure U.S. producers, within the meaning of Article 15 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures mentioned in subparagraph (A).
