The White House,
Washington, May 9, 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 stabilization of Iraq declared in Executive
Order 13303 of May 22, 2003--as modified in scope and relied
upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13290 of
March 20, 2003, Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003,
Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, Executive Order 13364
of November 29, 2004, Executive Order 13438 of July 17, 2007,
and Executive Order 13668 of May 27, 2014--is to continue in
effect beyond May 22, 2025.
Obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq continue 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
13303 with respect to the stabilization of Iraq.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the
Stabilization of Iraq
On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, 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 posed by
obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq.
The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq continue 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 13303, as modified in
scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive
Order 13290 of March 20, 2003, Executive Order 13315 of August
28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, Executive
Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, Executive Order 13438 of July
17, 2007, and Executive Order 13668 of May 27, 2014, must
continue in effect beyond May 22, 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 stabilization of Iraq declared in
Executive Order 13303.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, May 9, 2025.
