Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Libya

President Donald Trump has extended the national emergency concerning Libya for another year, originally declared in 2011 and expanded in 2016. This action is based on ongoing threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy due to instability in Libya, including violence, human rights abuses, and the risk of asset misappropriation by former regime members and other actors. The continuation of this emergency allows the U.S. to maintain sanctions and other measures, potentially affecting diplomatic relations and economic interactions with Libya.
