Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Belarus

President Donald Trump issued this notice to continue for one more year the national emergency related to Belarus, keeping in place an emergency first declared in 2006 and later expanded in 2021. The action states that the conduct of certain Belarusian government officials and others still poses an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy. It points to ongoing efforts to undermine democratic institutions, human rights abuses tied to political repression, public corruption, and broader oppressive actions by the Belarusian regime. The notice also directs that this continuation be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress, as required by law.
