                Notice of March 2, 2021

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Venezuela

                On March 8, 2015, the President issued Executive Order 
                13692, declaring a national emergency with respect to 
                the situation in Venezuela, including the Government of 
                Venezuela's erosion of human rights guarantees, 
                persecution of political opponents, curtailment of 
                press freedoms, use of violence and human rights 
                violations and abuses in response to antigovernment 
                protests, and arbitrary arrest and detention of 
                antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating 
                presence of significant government corruption.

                The President took additional steps pursuant to this 
                national emergency in Executive Order 13808 of August 
                24, 2017; Executive Order 13827 of March 19, 2018; 
                Executive Order 13835 of May 21, 2018; Executive Order 
                13850 of November 1, 2018; Executive Order 13857 of 
                January 25, 2019; and Executive Order 13884 of August 
                5, 2019.

                The circumstances described in Executive Order 13692, 
                and subsequent Executive Orders issued with respect to 
                Venezuela, have not improved, and they continue to pose 
                an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States. 
                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 13692.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 2, 2021.
