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 
prior to 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 13611 of May 16, 2012, with respect to Yemen is 
to continue in effect beyond May 16, 2017.
    The actions and policies of certain members of the 
Government of Yemen and others continue to threaten Yemen's 
peace, security, and stability, including by obstructing the 
political process in Yemen and the implementation of the 
agreement of November 23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen 
and those in opposition to it, which provided for a peaceful 
transition of power that meets the legitimate demands and 
aspirations of the Yemeni people for change. For this reason, I 
have determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 13611 with respect to 
Yemen.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


      Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen

    On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, 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 actions and policies of certain members of the Government 
of Yemen and others. These actions and policies threatened 
Yemen's peace, security, and stability, including by 
obstructing the political process in Yemen and the 
implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011, between 
the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which 
provided for a peaceful transition of power that meets the 
legitimate demands and aspirations of the Yemeni people for 
change.
    The actions and policies of certain members of the 
Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's peace, 
security, and stability continue 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 May 16, 2012, to deal with that threat 
must continue in effect beyond May 16, 2017. 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 13611.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, May 8, 2017.
