THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, May 8, 2017. 

Hon. PAUL D. RYAN, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: 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 prior to 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, 2017. 

The actions and policies of certain 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 

change. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to 

continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 

13611 with respect to Yemen. 

Sincerely, 

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 members of the Government of Yemen and others. 

These actions and policies threatened 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 change. 

The actions and policies of certain 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, 2017. 

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 8, 2017.
