Notice of September 18, 2020
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Per-
sons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Ter-
rorism
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 Eco-
nomic 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.
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.
