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 13667 
of May 12, 2014, with respect to the Central African Republic 
is to continue in effect beyond May 12, 2019.
    The situation in and in relation to the Central African 
Republic, which has been marked by a breakdown of law and 
order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence and 
atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced recruitment and use 
of child soldiers, threatens the peace, security, or stability 
of the Central African Republic and the neighboring states, and 
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 13667 with 
respect to the Central African Republic.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Central 
                            African Republic

    On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, 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 situation in and in relation to the Central African 
Republic, which has been marked by a breakdown of law and 
order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence and 
atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced recruitment and use 
of child soldiers, threatens the peace, security, or stability 
of the Central African Republic and neighboring states.
    The situation in and in relation to the Central African 
Republic 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 May 
12, 2014, to deal with that threat must continue in effect 
beyond May 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 13667.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, May 8, 2019.
