The White House,
Washington, March 17, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Consistent with applicable law, including
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621) and the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq.), I hereby report that the national emergency with respect
to the situation in the West Bank established by Executive
Order 14115 of February 1, 2024 (Imposing Certain Sanctions on
Persons Undermining Peace, Security, and Stability in the West
Bank), was terminated by Executive Order 14148 of January 20,
2025 (Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and
Actions).
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
Executive Order
----------
Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it
is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The previous administration
has embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and
radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal
Government. The injection of ``diversity, equity, and
inclusion'' (DEI) into our institutions has corrupted them by
replacing hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive and
dangerous preferential hierarchy. Orders to open the borders
have endangered the American people and dissolved Federal,
State, and local resources that should be used to benefit the
American people. Climate extremism has exploded inflation and
overburdened businesses with regulation.
To commence the policies that will make our Nation united,
fair, safe, and prosperous again, it is the policy of the
United States to restore common sense to the Federal Government
and unleash the potential of the American citizen. The
revocations within this order will be the first of many steps
the United States Federal Government will take to repair our
institutions and our economy.
Sec. 2. Revocation of Orders and Actions. The following
executive actions are hereby revoked:
