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.

Notice of March 28, 2025
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to South Sudan
On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) 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 South Sudan, which has
been marked by activities that threaten the peace,
security, or stability of South Sudan and the
surrounding region, including widespread violence and
atrocities, human rights abuses, recruitment and use of
child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers, and
obstruction of humanitarian operations.
The situation in and in relation to South Sudan
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 April 3, 2014, must continue in effect
beyond April 3, 2025. 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 13664.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 28, 2025.
