89-011 WASHINGTON : 2019
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 13536
of April 12, 2010, with respect to Somalia is to continue in
effect beyond April 12, 2019.
The United States is strongly committed to Somalia's
stabilization, and it is important to maintain sanctions
against persons undermining its stability. The situation with
respect to Somalia continues to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined that
it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13536 with respect to Somalia.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, April 10, 2019.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Somalia
On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by
the deterioration of the security situation and the persistence
of violence in Somalia, and acts of piracy and armed robbery at
sea off the coast of Somalia, which have been the subject of
the United Nations Security Council resolutions, and violations
of the arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security
Council.
On July 20, 2012, the President issued Executive Order
13620 to take additional steps to deal with the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13536 in view of United
Nations Security Council Resolution 2036 of February 22, 2012,
and Resolution 2002 of July 29, 2011, and to address: exports
of charcoal from Somalia, which generate significant revenue
for al-Shabaab; the misappropriation of Somali public assets;
and certain acts of violence committed against civilians in
Somalia, all of which contribute to the deterioration of the
security situation and the persistence of violence in Somalia.
The situation with respect to Somalia 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 12, 2010, and the measures
adopted on that date and on July 20, 2012, to deal with that
emergency, must continue in effect beyond April 12, 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 13536.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, April 10, 2019.
