NOTICE
- - - - - - CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA
On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order 13466, the President
declared a national emergency with respect to North Korea
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 existence and risk of the
proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean
Peninsula. The President also found that it was necessary to
maintain certain restrictions with respect to North Korea that
would otherwise have been lifted pursuant to Proclamation 8271
of June 26, 2008, which terminated the exercise of authorities
under the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.)
with respect to North Korea.
On August 30, 2010, the President signed Executive Order
13551, which expanded the scope of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13466 to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy,
and economy of the United States posed by the continued actions
and policies of the Government of North Korea, manifested by its
unprovoked attack that resulted in the sinking of the Republic

2
of Korea Navy ship Cheonan and the deaths of 46 sailors in March
2010; its announced test of a nuclear device and its missile
launches in 2009; its actions in violation of United Nations
Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874, including the
procurement of luxury goods; and its illicit and deceptive
activities in international markets through which it obtains
financial and other support, including money laundering, the
counterfeiting of goods and currency, bulk cash smuggling, and
narcotics trafficking, which destabilize the Korean Peninsula
and imperil United States Armed Forces, allies, and trading
partners in the region.
On April 18, 2011, the President signed Executive Order
13570 to take additional steps to address the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13466 and expanded in Executive
Order 13551 that would ensure implementation of the import
restrictions contained in United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 1718 and 1874 and complement the import restrictions
provided for in the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et
seq.).
On January 2, 2015, the President signed Executive Order
13687 to expand the scope of, and to take further steps with
respect to, the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13466, as expanded in Executive Order 13551, and addressed

3
further in Executive Order 13570, to address the threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States constituted by the provocative, destabilizing, and
repressive actions and policies of the Government of North
Korea, including its destructive, coercive cyber-related actions
during November and December 2014, actions in violation of
United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718, 1874, 2087,
and 2094, and commission of serious human rights abuses.
On March 15, 2016, the President signed Executive Order
13722 to take additional steps with respect to the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13466, as modified in
scope and relied upon for additional steps in subsequent
Executive Orders, to address the Government of North Korea's
continuing pursuit of its nuclear and missile programs, as
evidenced by its February 7, 2016, launch using ballistic
missile technology and its January 6, 2016, nuclear test in
violation of its obligations pursuant to numerous United Nations
Security Council resolutions and in contravention of its
commitments under the September 19, 2005, Joint Statement of the
Six-Party Talks, that increasingly imperils the United States
and its allies.
On September 20, 2017, the President signed Executive Order
13810 to take further steps with respect to the national

4
emergency declared in Executive Order 13466, as modified in
scope and relied upon for additional steps in subsequent
Executive Orders, to address the provocative, destabilizing, and
repressive actions and policies of the Government of North
Korea, including its intercontinental ballistic missile launches
of July 3 and July 28, 2017, and its nuclear test of September
2, 2017; its commission of serious human rights abuses; and its
use of funds generated through international trade to support
its nuclear and missile programs and weapons proliferation.
The existence and risk of the proliferation of weaponsusable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions
and policies of the Government of North Korea continue to pose
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13466, expanded in scope in Executive Order 13551, addressed
further in Executive Order 13570, further expanded in scope in
Executive Order 13687, and under which additional steps were
taken in Executive Order 13722 and Executive Order 13810, must
continue in effect beyond June 26, 2024. 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

5
emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 with respect to
North Korea.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
