Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain

President Donald Trump has extended the national emergency regarding the security of the United States' information and communications technology (ICT) supply chain, initially declared in 2019. This action aims to address the ongoing threat posed by foreign adversaries who could exploit vulnerabilities in ICT systems, potentially endangering national security and the economy. The extension, effective through May 2026, underscores the administration's focus on safeguarding critical infrastructure, likely leading to continued scrutiny and regulation of foreign technology transactions, which could have significant legal and political implications, especially in international trade relations.
