U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
69-011 WASHINGTON : 2025
The White House,
Washington, September 30, 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 declared in
Executive Order 13894 of October 14, 2019, with respect to the
situation in and in relation to Syria, with respect to which
additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14142 of January
15, 2025, and which was expanded in scope in Executive Order
14312 of June 30, 2025, is to continue in effect beyond October
14, 2025.
The situation in and in relation to Syria undermines the
campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or
ISIS, endangers civilians, and further threatens to undermine
the peace, security, and stability in the region. Furthermore,
additional steps must be taken to ensure meaningful
accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, human rights
violations and abuses, and the proliferation of narcotics
trafficking networks in and in relation to Syria during the
former regime of Bashar al-Assad and by those associated with
it. Perpetrators of such actions continue to threaten to
undermine the peace, security, and stability in the region.
This situation 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 13894 with respect to the situation in and in
relation to Syria.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to
the Situation in and in Relation to Syria
On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894, I 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 Syria. On January 15, 2025, the
President issued Executive Order 14142 in view of changing
circumstances on the ground in Syria and in order to take
additional steps with respect to the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13894.
On June 30, 2025, I issued Executive Order 14312 to expand
the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13894 and to take additional steps to ensure meaningful
accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, human rights
violations and abuses, and the proliferation of narcotics
trafficking networks in and in relation to Syria during the
former regime of Bashar al-Assad and by those associated with
it, as perpetrators of such actions threaten to undermine the
peace, security, and stability in the region, among other
things.
The situation in and in relation to Syria undermines the
campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or
ISIS, endangers civilians, and further threatens to undermine
the peace, security, and stability in the region. Furthermore,
additional steps must be taken to ensure meaningful
accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, human rights
violations and abuses, and the proliferation of narcotics
trafficking networks in and in relation to Syria during the
former regime of Bashar al-Assad and by those associated with
it. Perpetrators of such actions continue to threaten to
undermine the peace, security, and stability in the region.
This situation 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 13894 of October 14, 2019, with respect to
which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14142 of
January 15, 2025, and which was expanded in scope in Executive
Order 14312 of June 30, 2025, must continue in effect beyond
October 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 13894 with respect to the situation in and in
relation to Syria.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, September 30, 2025.
