Notice of May 14, 2018

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.

ude obstructing the

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, 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 13611.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
