Notice of April 10, 2025
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the
Government of the Russian Federation
On April 15, 2021, by Executive Order 14024, 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, foreign
policy, and the economy of the United States
constituted by specified harmful foreign activities of
the Government of the Russian Federation. On March 8,
2022, the President issued Executive Order 14066 to
expand the scope of the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 14024. On August 20, 2021, March 11,
2022, April 6, 2022, and December 22, 2023, the
President issued Executive Orders 14039, 14068, 14071,
and 14114, respectively, to take additional steps with
respect to the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 14024.
Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government
of the Russian Federation--in particular, efforts to
undermine the conduct of free and fair democratic
elections and democratic institutions in the United
States and its allies and partners; to engage in and
facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities against
the United States and its allies and partners; to
foster and use transnational corruption to influence
foreign governments; to pursue extraterritorial
activities targeting dissidents or journalists; to
undermine security in countries and regions important
to United States national security; and to violate
well-established principles of international law,
including respect for the territorial integrity of
states--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 14024,
which was expanded in scope in Executive Order 14066,
and with respect to which additional steps were taken
in Executive Orders 14039, 14068, 14071, and 14114,
must continue in effect beyond April 15, 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 14024.
