The White House,
Washington, March 27, 2018.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days
before the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision,
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13664 of April 3, 2014, with respect to South
Sudan, is to continue in effect beyond April 3, 2018.
The situation in and in relation to South Sudan, which has
been marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, or
stability of South Sudan and the surrounding region, including
widespread violence and atrocities, human rights abuses,
recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers
and humanitarian aid workers, and obstruction of humanitarian
operations, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is
necessary to continue the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13664 with respect to South Sudan.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to South Sudan
On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by
the situation in and in relation to South Sudan, which has been
marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, or
stability of South Sudan and the surrounding region, including
widespread violence and atrocities, human rights abuses,
recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers
and humanitarian aid workers, and obstruction of humanitarian
operations.
The situation in and in relation to South Sudan continues
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared on April 3, 2014, to
deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond April 3,
2018. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing
for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13664.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, March 27, 2018.
