Answer:

In 1810, Congress passed Macon's Bill No. 2. declaring that if either France or Britain normalized trade with the US, the US would employ the Non-Intercourse Act against the other power. Napoleon jumped at the opportunity. In August of 1810, he quickly promised that all economic terms restricting US imports into Europe would soon be lifted.
