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.
