Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua

On November 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a notice to continue the national emergency regarding Nicaragua for another year. This emergency was initially declared on November 27, 2018, under Executive Order 13851, due to the threat posed by the Nicaraguan government's actions against its citizens and democratic institutions. The continuation is based on ongoing issues such as the regime's violent repression of protests, undermining of democracy, and economic destabilization, which are considered threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy. This decision ensures that the measures addressing these threats remain in effect.
