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. The action keeps in place the emergency first declared in 2003 under Executive Order 13303, along with related authorities referenced in later executive orders. It states that ongoing obstacles to Iraq’s reconstruction, peace and security, and development of political, administrative, and economic institutions still pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy. The notice also directs that the continuation be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress.
