 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO MALI--MESSAGE 
     FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 119-175)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs and ordered to be printed:

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 the situation in 
Mali declared in Executive Order 13882 of July 26, 2019, is to continue 
in effect beyond July 26, 2026.
  The situation in Mali, including repeated violations of ceasefire 
arrangements made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on Peace and 
Reconciliation in Mali; a coup d'etat resulting in the termination of 
that agreement; the expansion of terrorist activities into southern and 
central Mali; the intensification of drug trafficking and trafficking 
in persons, human rights abuses, and hostage-taking; a further coup 
d'etat; the presence of foreign mercenaries threatening peace, 
security, and stability; and the intensification of attacks against 
civilians, the Malian defense and security forces, the United Nations 
Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), 
and international security presences, 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 13882 with 
respect to the situation in Mali.

                                                     Donald J. Trump.  
The White House, July 21, 2026.
