Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain
President Donald Trump issued this notice to continue for one more year the national emergency related to securing the information and communications technology and services, or ICTS, supply chain. The action keeps in place the national emergency first declared in Executive Order 13873, citing ongoing risks from certain technology transactions involving foreign countries or foreign nationals. It says these transactions can expose vulnerabilities in critical technology and communications systems and pose a threat to U.S. national security, foreign policy, and the economy. The notice also directs that the continuation be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress.

FRImposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
President Donald J. Trump issued this order to expand sanctions tied to the national emergency concerning Cuba declared earlier in 2026. It blocks the U.S.-based property and financial interests of foreign individuals and entities linked to the Cuban government, key sectors of Cuba’s economy, serious human rights abuses, corruption, or support for already sanctioned persons. The order also bars those designated individuals from entering the United States and allows penalties on foreign financial institutions that help them carry out significant transactions. Trump says the action was issued because the Cuban government’s conduct continues to threaten U.S. national security and foreign policy and is tied to repression and abuse in Cuba.

FREligibility of the Board of Peace To Receive Defense Articles and Defense Services Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act
President Donald Trump issued this presidential determination to make the Board of Peace eligible to receive U.S. defense articles and defense services under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Arms Export Control Act. In the memo, he formally finds that providing this assistance would strengthen U.S. security and promote world peace. The action authorizes and directs the Secretary of State to send the determination and its justification to Congress and to publish it in the Federal Register. In short, it clears the legal path for the Board of Peace to receive certain U.S. defense-related support and explains that it was issued on national security and peace-promotion grounds.

FRPresidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Natural Gas Transmission, Processing, Storage, and Liquefied Natural Gas Capacity
President Donald Trump issued this determination to treat natural gas and liquefied natural gas infrastructure as essential to national defense under the Defense Production Act. The memo says key facilities — including pipelines, processing plants, storage sites, LNG export terminals, and related distribution systems — are necessary to support U.S. defense operations and allied energy security. It finds that private industry alone cannot build this capacity quickly enough because of financing problems, long equipment timelines, permitting delays, and infrastructure bottlenecks. Based on that finding, Trump authorizes the Energy Department to use federal purchases, commitments, and financial support to help expand domestic natural gas transmission, processing, storage, and LNG capacity, while waiving certain usual legal requirements because of the declared national energy emergency.
