Presidential Notice 13694

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities

President Trump extended for one year the national emergency declared by President Obama in April 2015 (EO 13694, as amended by EO 13757) regarding significant malicious cyber-enabled activities originating from outside the United States. The continuation was required under the National Emergencies Act because the threat to national security, foreign policy, and the economy persists.
