Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Belarus

On June 9, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the national emergency regarding Belarus, originally declared in 2006, for another year. This decision, based on ongoing concerns about Belarus's actions undermining democracy and human rights, means the U.S. will continue to impose economic and political measures against certain Belarusian individuals and entities. The continuation of this emergency underscores the U.S. government's stance on promoting democratic values and could impact U.S.-Belarus relations, potentially affecting diplomatic and economic interactions.
