Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to South Sudan

Notice April 01, 2025 Document 2025-05683

Summary

President Donald Trump has extended the national emergency concerning South Sudan for another year, citing ongoing threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy due to the region's instability, violence, and human rights abuses. Originally declared in 2014, this continuation allows the U.S. to maintain sanctions and other measures aimed at addressing these issues. The extension could have political implications, as it reflects the administration's stance on foreign policy and humanitarian concerns, potentially affecting international relations and domestic opinions on U.S. involvement in global conflicts.
