Dossier Executive executive action 16-sep-2026
Presidential order or directive published in the Federal Register.

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism

Key claim: The President is extending the national emergency that lets the U.S. freeze assets and block transactions of people and groups who commit, threaten, or support terrorism.

Abstract

(Presidential Document · Executive Office of the President)

Why this matters

The EO 13224 emergency is the primary legal basis for Treasury/OFAC designations of Specially Designated Global Terrorists and the associated asset freezes and secondary-sanctions exposure. Routine annual continuation keeps a sweeping, decades-old sanctions architecture in force without new congressional action, and is the mechanism by which these authorities would lapse if ever allowed to expire.
