Actually this isn’t a Treaty. it’s an Agreement. It is no more than just another “trade agreement”.

What qualifies as a “treaty” for purposes of the Constitution is fairly narrow. A “Treaty” actually gives the Executive MUCH more authority to act outside the scope of Congress where an Agreement is more restrictive.

11 Fam 721.2 vies the analysis. There is also quite a bit of material on the subject but there is no doubt that this is not a treaty.

If any are at all interested, this link gets you started on the issue:
