                 Notice of May 13, 2019
                
                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.
                 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, 2019. 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.)
                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 May 13, 2019.
