Notice of September 18, 2020

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or

Support Terrorism

On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, the

President declared a national emergency with respect to

persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support

terrorism, 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United

States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and

threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists,

including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,

in New York and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon,

and the continuing and immediate threat of further

attacks against United States nationals or the United

States.

acts of terrorism and

threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists,

including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,

in New York and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon,

and the continuing and immediate threat of further

attacks against United States nationals or the United

States.

On September 9, 2019, I signed Executive Order 13886 to

strengthen and consolidate sanctions to combat the

continuing threat posed by international terrorism and

to take additional steps to deal with the national

emergency declared in Executive Order 13224.

The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit,

or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign

policy, and economy of the United States. For this

reason, the national emergency declared in Executive

Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and the

measures adopted to deal with that emergency, must

continue in effect beyond September 23, 2020.

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 persons who commit, threaten to commit, or

support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224, as

amended.
