The White House,
Washington, October 16, 2025.
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 or in relation to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo declared in Executive Order 13413 of
October 27, 2006, as amended by Executive Order 13671 of July
8, 2014, is to continue in effect beyond October 27, 2025.
The situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, which has been marked by widespread violence and
atrocities that continue to threaten regional stability,
continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have
determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13413, as amended by
Executive Order 13671, with respect to the situation in or in
relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to
the Democratic Republic of the Congo
On October 27, 2006, by Executive Order 13413, 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
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, which has been marked by widespread violence and
atrocities that continue to threaten regional stability. The
President took additional steps to address this national
emergency in Executive Order 13671 of July 8, 2014.
The situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic
of the Congo continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the foreign policy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13413 of October 27, 2006, as amended by Executive Order 13671
of July 8, 2014, must continue in effect beyond October 27,
2025. 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 with respect to the situation
in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo
declared in Executive Order 13413, as amended by Executive
Order 13671.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, October 16, 2025.
