                 Notice of November 25, 2019
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua
                 On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, I
                 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 situation in
                 Nicaragua.
                 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 regime's
                 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, 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 13851
                 with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.

                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 November 25, 2019.
