Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Stabilization of Iraq

President Donald Trump issued this notice to continue for one more year the national emergency related to the stabilization of Iraq.

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Domestic Petroleum Production, Refining, and Logistics Capacity

Determination

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Domestic Petroleum Production, Refining, and Logistics Capacity

President Donald Trump issued this memorandum to classify domestic petroleum production, refining, and logistics capacity as resources essential to national defense under the Defense Production Act. It says the private sector cannot expand these capabilities fast enough on its own because of financing constraints, long project timelines, permitting and infrastructure bottlenecks, and supply chain limits. The action directs the Secretary of Energy to use Defense Production Act authorities to support these projects through purchases, purchase commitments, and financial assistance. Trump says the determination was issued because, following his declared national energy emergency, immediate federal action is needed to strengthen fuel supply systems that support the military, industry, and critical infrastructure.

Determination

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Coal Supply Chains and Baseload Power Generation Capacity

President Donald Trump issued this determination to declare that coal supply chains and coal-based baseload power generation are essential to national defense under section 303 of the Defense Production Act. The memorandum says the United States needs dependable coal mining, transport, terminals, stockpiles, plant maintenance, and related reliability upgrades to ensure stable electricity for defense facilities, industry, and high-energy technologies. It finds that private industry cannot provide these capabilities quickly enough on its own because of financing, regulatory, maintenance, and market obstacles. Trump therefore authorizes the Secretary of Energy to use Defense Production Act tools — including purchases, commitments, and financial support — and waives certain statutory requirements on the grounds of the national energy emergency he previously declared.

Determination

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Development, Manufacturing, and Deployment of Large-Scale Energy and Energy‑Related Infrastructure

President Donald Trump issued this determination to invoke the Defense Production Act in support of large-scale energy and energy-related infrastructure. The memo says the United States needs stronger domestic capacity to develop, manufacture, and deploy major energy projects, including engineering, site preparation, permitting, manufacturing capacity, and related infrastructure, and declares these resources essential to national defense. It states that private industry alone cannot deliver this fast enough because of financing risks, regulatory delays, and market barriers. The order authorizes the Secretary of Energy to use tools under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act — including purchases, commitments, and financial support — and waives certain statutory requirements on the grounds of the national energy emergency Trump previously declared.
