Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen

President Donald Trump issued this notice to extend for one more year the national emergency related to Yemen that was first declared in 2012 under Executive Order 13611. The action keeps in place the emergency authorities tied to threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy stemming from conduct that undermines Yemen’s peace, security, and stability. The notice specifically points to the actions and policies of Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, as the reason the threat is still considered ongoing. It also directs that the continuation of the emergency be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress, as required by law.
