The White House,

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 proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
that was declared in Executive Order 12938 of November 14,
1994, is to continue in effect beyond November 14, 2025.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the
Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by the
proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons
(weapons of mass destruction) and the means of delivering such
weapons. On July 28, 1998, by Executive Order 13094, the
President amended Executive Order 12938 to respond more
effectively to the worldwide threat of proliferation activities
related to weapons of mass destruction. On June 28, 2005, by
Executive Order 13382, the President, among other things,
further amended Executive Order 12938 to improve our ability to
combat proliferation activities related to weapons of mass
destruction. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
and the means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual
and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12938 with
respect to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and
the means of delivering such weapons must continue beyond
November 14, 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 declared in
Executive Order 12938, as amended.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, November 5, 2025.
