Hon. Mike Johnson,
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 with 
respect to the situation in Nicaragua declared in Executive 
Order 13851 of November 27, 2018, under which additional steps 
were taken in Executive Order 14088 of October 24, 2022, is to 
continue in effect beyond November 27, 2023.
    The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response 
by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on 
April 18, 2018, and the Ortega-Murillo regime's continued 
systematic dismantling and undermining of democratic 
institutions and the rule of law, its use of indiscriminate 
violence and repressive tactics against civilians, as well as 
its corruption leading to the destabilization of Nicaragua's 
economy, 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 
13851 with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.
            Sincerely,

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                              ----------                              


Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in 
                               Nicaragua

    On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, 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 Nicaragua. On October 24, 2022, 
I issued Executive Order 14088 to take additional steps with 
respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13851.
    The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response 
by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on 
April 18, 2018, and the Ortega-Murillo regime's continued 
systematic dismantling and undermining of democratic 
institutions and the rule of law, its use of indiscriminate 
violence and repressive tactics against civilians, as well as 
its corruption leading to the destabilization of Nicaragua's 
economy, 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 
November 27, 2018, must continue in effect beyond November 27, 
2023. 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 
13851 with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, November 16, 2023.
