Part II of the African Elephant Conservation Act ( 16 U.S.C. 4221 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Not later than 30 days after a certification with respect to the country under section 2202(g), the President shall seek to enter into consultations with the government of the country for the purpose of obtaining an agreement that will immediately terminate all illegal ivory trade into, out of, or within that country. If consultations with a government under subsection
(a)are not satisfactorily concluded within 90 days or if a government refuses to enter into consultations, the President shall direct the Secretary to prohibit the importation into the United States of products of wildlife, fish, and plants from that country until the earlier of— the date an agreement with the country under subsection
(a)is finalized; or the date the CITES Standing Committee finds that the country is no longer a significant source or transit or destination point for illegal ivory trade. The Secretary shall publish public notice of any prohibition under this subsection not later than 30 days before the effective date of the prohibition. Not later than 180 days after the effective date of a prohibition under subsection (b), the Secretary shall determine and report to Congress whether— the prohibition is sufficient to cause the country to terminate illegal ivory trade into, out of, or within that country; and that country has retaliated against the United States as a result of that prohibition. . In the case of a country that before the date of the enactment of this Act was identified by the CITES Standing Committee as a country of primary concern because it is a significant source or transit or destination point for illegal ivory trade and that the CITES Standing Committee continues to identify as such on the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall seek to enter into consultations under the amendment made by subsection
(a)by not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
