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.
The White House, April 1, 2019.
Notice
----------
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.
The White House, April 1, 2019
