Notice of May 4, 2026

Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Central African Republic

On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, 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
situation in and in relation to the Central African
Republic, which has been marked by a breakdown of law
and order; intersectarian tension; widespread violence
and atrocities; and the pervasive, often forced
recruitment and use of child soldiers, and which
threatens the peace, security, or stability of the
Central African Republic and neighboring states.

The situation in and in relation to the Central African
Republic, including widespread violence and atrocities
committed by Kremlin-linked entities such as the Wagner
Group, continues 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 13667 must
continue in effect beyond May 12, 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 13667.

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

THE WHITE HOUSE,

May 4, 2026.
