Presidential Notice 13712

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Burundi

President Trump extended for one year the national emergency declared in 2015 regarding the situation in Burundi, citing ongoing violence, political repression, and regional instability that continues to threaten U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. The continuation maintains sanctions authorities and related measures originally established by Executive Order 13712.
