Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits

On April 2, 2025, by Executive Order 14257, I 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 economy of the United States involving conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, including the consequences of those deficits.

The President took additional steps pursuant to this national emergency, including in Executive Order 14259 of April 8, 2025; Executive Order 14266 of April 9, 2025; Executive Order 14309 of June 16, 2025; Executive Order 14316 of July 7, 2025; Executive Order 14324 of July 30, 2025; Executive Order 14326 of July 31, 2025; Executive Order 14334 of August 11, 2025; Executive Order 14345 of September 4, 2025; Executive Order 14346 of September 5, 2025; and Executive Order 14360 of November 14, 2025.

The circumstances related to this emergency continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, must continue in effect beyond April 2, 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 14257.

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