The White House,
Washington, May 4, 2026.
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 Central African Republic declared in Executive
Order 13667 of May 12, 2014, is to continue in effect beyond
May 12, 2026.
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, including widespread violence and atrocities
committed by Kremlin-linked entities such as the Wagner Group,
threatens the peace, security, or stability of the Central
African Republic and 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.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
Notice
----------
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, and which 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, including widespread violence and atrocities
committed by Kremlin-linked entities such as the Wagner Group,
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 in Executive Order
13667 must continue in effect beyond May 12, 2026. 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 4, 2026.
