To the Congress of the United States:
    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, 2019.
    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 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.

                                                   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 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, 
2019. 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.
