Notice of November 16, 2023

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua

On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, 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 Nicaragua. On October 24, 2022, I issued

Executive Order 14088 to take additional steps with

respect to the national emergency declared in Executive

Order 13851.

th the unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security and

foreign policy of the United States constituted by the

situation in Nicaragua. On October 24, 2022, I issued

Executive Order 14088 to take additional steps with

respect to the national emergency declared in Executive

Order 13851.

The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent

response by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests

that began on April 18, 2018, and the Ortega-Murillo

regime's continued systematic dismantling and

undermining of democratic institutions and the rule of

law, its use of indiscriminate violence and repressive

tactics against civilians, as well as its corruption

leading to the destabilization of Nicaragua's economy,

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 November 27, 2018, must continue in effect

beyond November 27, 2023. 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 13851

with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
