(1) 

To the Congress of the United States: 

231 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 before 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 declared in Executive Order 13667 of May 12, 2014, with respect to the Central African Republic, is to continue in effect beyond May 12, 2018. 

The situation in and in relation to the Central African Republic, 

which has been marked by a breakdown of law and order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced recruitment and use of child soldiers, threatens 

the peace, security, or stability of the Central African Republic and 

the neighboring states, and 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 with respect to the Central African Republic declared in Executive Order 13667.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, 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 constituted by the situation in 

and in relation to the Central African Republic—which has been 

marked by a breakdown of law and order, intersectarian tension, 

widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced 

recruitment and use of child soldiers—threatens the peace, security, or stability of the Central African Republic and neighboring 

states. 

The situation in and in relation to the Central African Republic 

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 May 12, 2014, to deal with 

that threat must continue in effect beyond May 12, 2018. 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 13667. 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. 

DONALD J. TRUMP. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 10, 2018.
