in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President can stop the import of animals to protect U.S. animals from disease. This applies to all or some kinds of animals, for a limited time. The President can later change or cancel the suspension.

If the President decides it's necessary to protect animals in the United States from infectious or contagious diseases, the President may issue a proclamation suspending the import of all animals, or just certain kinds, for a limited time. The President may later change, modify, cancel, or renew that proclamation whenever the public good requires it. While the suspension is in effect, importing any of the covered animals is against the law.
