To the Congress of the United States:
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 Belarus that was
declared in Executive Order 13405 of June 16, 2006, which was
expanded in scope in Executive Order 14038 of August 9, 2021,
is to continue in effect beyond June 16, 2025.
The actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Belarus and other persons, and the Belarusian
regime's harmful activities and long-standing abuses, 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 13405 with respect to
Belarus.
Donald J. Trump.

Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Belarus
On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, 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 actions and policies of certain members of the Government
of Belarus and other persons to undermine Belarus's democratic
processes or institutions, manifested in the fundamentally
undemocratic March 2006 elections; to commit human rights
abuses related to political repression, including detentions
and disappearances; and to engage in public corruption,
including by diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or
by misusing public authority.
On August 9, 2021, by Executive Order 14038, the President
expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13405, finding that the Belarusian regime's
harmful activities and long-standing abuses aimed at
suppressing democracy and the exercise of human rights and
fundamental freedoms in Belarus--including illicit and
oppressive activities stemming from the August 9, 2020,
fraudulent Belarusian presidential election and its aftermath,
such as the elimination of political opposition and civil
society organizations and the regime's disruption and
endangering of international civil air travel--constituted an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States.
The actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Belarus and other persons, and the Belarusian
regime's harmful activities and long-standing abuses, 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
13405, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order 14038,
must continue in effect beyond June 16, 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 13405.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, June 9, 2025.
