                Notice of May 16, 2023

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Stabilization of Iraq

                On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, the 
                President 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 posed by obstacles 
                to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration 
                and maintenance of peace and security in the country, 
                and the development of political, administrative, and 
                economic institutions in Iraq.

                The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, 
                the restoration and maintenance of peace and security 
                in the country, and the development of political, 
                administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq 
                continue 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 13303, as modified in scope 
                and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive 
                Order 13290 of March 20, 2003, Executive Order 13315 of 
                August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 
                2004, Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, 
                Executive Order 13438 of July 17, 2007, and Executive 
                Order 13668 of May 27, 2014, must continue in effect 
                beyond May 22, 2023. 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 with respect to the stabilization of 
                Iraq declared in Executive Order 13303.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 16, 2023.
