                Notice of October 8, 2020

                
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. 
                1701-1706) 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.

                The situation in and in relation to Syria, and in 
                particular the actions by the Government of Turkey to 
                conduct a military offensive into northeast 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, and 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 on October 
                14, 2019, must continue in effect beyond October 14, 
                2020. 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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 8, 2020.
