                Notice of November 24, 2020

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua

                On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, 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 
                Nicaragua.

                The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent 
                response by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests 
                that began on April 18, 2018, and the Ortega regime's 
                systematic dismantling and undermining of democratic 
                institutions and the rule of law, its use of 
                indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics against 
                civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the 
                destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, 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 November 27, 2018, must continue in effect 
                beyond November 27, 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 13851 
                with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 24, 2020.
