National Security and Trade Act - Amends the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to provide that if the President does not act upon the recommendations of the Secretary of Commerce relating to imports that threaten national security within 90 days of receiving those recommendations, the Secretary's recommendation shall be deemed to be adopted by the President and shall have the full force and effect of law.

Declares that if a petition was filed with the Secretary of Commerce before March 15, 1983, and if the Secretary submitted recommendations to the President before March 15, 1984, and the President did not act on those recommendations by September 15, 1985, the recommendations of the Secretary are deemed to be adopted by the President and have the full force and effect of law unless, by the date of enactment of this Act, the United States has negotiated an import limitation agreement with any country whose exports to the United States exceed 30 percent of the total value of imports of such items.
