Notice of May 7, 2026

Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Yemen

On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Yemen and others that threatened Yemen's
peace, security, and stability. These actions include
obstructing the political process in Yemen and blocking
the implementation of the agreement of November 23,
2011, between the Government of Yemen and those in
opposition to it, which provided for a peaceful
transition of power that meets the legitimate demands
and aspirations of the Yemeni people.

The actions and policies of Ansar Allah, also known as
the Houthis, in threatening Yemen's peace, security,
and stability 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
13611 must continue in effect beyond May 16, 2026.
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 declared
in Executive Order 13611 with respect to Yemen.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

May 7, 2026.
