To the Congress of the United States: 

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 13611 of May 16, 2012, with respect to Yemen is to 

continue in effect beyond May 16, 2019. 

The actions and policies of certain former members of the Government of Yemen and others continue to threaten Yemen’s peace, 

security, and stability, including by obstructing the political process 

in Yemen and the implementation of the agreement of November 

23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which provided for a peaceful transition of power that 

meets the legitimate demands and aspirations of the Yemeni people. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13611 

with respect to Yemen. 

DONALD J. TRUMP.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

YEMEN

On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, the President 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 actions and policies of certain former members of the Government of Yemen and 

others that threaten Yemen’s peace, security, and stability. These 

actions include obstructing the political process in Yemen and 

blocking implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011, 

between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, 

which provided for a peaceful transition of power that meets the legitimate demands and aspirations of the Yemeni people. 

The actions and policies of certain former members of the Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen’s peace, security, and stability 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 on May 

16, 2012, to deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond 

May 16, 2019. 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 13611. 

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

DONALD J. TRUMP. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 13, 2019.
