89-011 WASHINGTON : 2019
To the Congress of the United States:
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national
emergency unless, within 90 days before the anniversary date of
its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal
Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that
the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary
date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the
Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating
that the national emergency with respect to the stabilization
of Iraq that was declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22,
2003, is to continue in effect beyond May 22, 2019.
Obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq continue to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined that
it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13303 with respect to the stabilization of
Iraq.
Donald J. Trump.

Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the
Stabilization of Iraq
On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States posed by
obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq.
The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the
restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the
country, and the development of political, administrative, and
economic institutions in Iraq continue to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States. For this reason, the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, as modified in
scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive
Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July
29, 2004, Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, Executive
Order 13438 of July 17, 2007, and Executive Order 13668 of May
27, 2014, must continue in effect beyond May 22, 2019.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year
the national emergency with respect to the stabilization of
Iraq declared in Executive Order 13303.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, May 20, 2019.
