                 Notice of October 8, 2020
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to the Situation in and in Relation to Syria
                 On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894, 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 and
                 in relation to Syria.
                 The situation in and in relation to Syria, and in
                 particular the actions by the Government of Turkey to
                 conduct a military offensive into northeast Syria,
                 undermines the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of
                 Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, endangers civilians, and
                 further threatens to undermine the peace, security, and
                 stability in the region, and 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 October
                 14, 2019, must continue in effect beyond October 14,
                 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 declared
                 in Executive Order 13894 with respect to the situation
                 in and in relation to Syria.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.

                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 October 8, 2020.
