Notice of May 7, 2025
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Actions of the Government of Syria
On May 11, 2004, pursuant to his authority under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) and the Syria Accountability and Lebanese
Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-
175), the President issued Executive Order 13338, in
which he declared a national emergency with respect to
the actions of the Government of Syria. The national
emergency was modified in scope and relied upon for
additional steps taken in Executive Order 13399 of
April 25, 2006, Executive Order 13460 of February 13,
2008, Executive Order 13572 of April 29, 2011,
Executive Order 13573 of May 18, 2011, Executive Order
13582 of August 17, 2011, Executive Order 13606 of
April 22, 2012, and Executive Order 13608 of May 1,
2012.
taken in Executive Order 13399 of
April 25, 2006, Executive Order 13460 of February 13,
2008, Executive Order 13572 of April 29, 2011,
Executive Order 13573 of May 18, 2011, Executive Order
13582 of August 17, 2011, Executive Order 13606 of
April 22, 2012, and Executive Order 13608 of May 1,
2012.
The President took these actions to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States constituted by the actions of the Government of
Syria in supporting terrorism, maintaining its then-
existing occupation of Lebanon, pursuing weapons of
mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining
United States and international efforts with respect to
the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq.
Syria's lack of structure and limited governance
capability with respect to chemical weapons and
combatting terrorist organizations continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States. As a result, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13338, which was expanded in scope in
Executive Order 13572, and with respect to which
additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13399,
Executive Order 13460, Executive Order 13573, Executive
Order 13582, Executive Order 13606, and Executive Order
13608, must continue in effect beyond May 11, 2025.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C
additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13399,
Executive Order 13460, Executive Order 13573, Executive
Order 13582, Executive Order 13606, and Executive Order
13608, must continue in effect beyond May 11, 2025.
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 13338.
The United States will consider changes in policies and
actions of Syria in determining whether to continue or
terminate this national emergency in the future.
