Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Foreign Interference in or Undermining Public Confidence in United States Elections

On August 29, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a notice to continue the national emergency concerning foreign interference in U.S. elections. This emergency was initially declared on September 12, 2018, through Executive Order 13848, due to the threat posed by foreign entities attempting to undermine public confidence in the electoral process. Despite no evidence of foreign powers altering election outcomes, the risk remains significant due to the vulnerability of digital and internet-based communications. The continuation extends the national emergency for one more year to address these ongoing threats to national security and foreign policy.
