Official record excerpt
Notice of October 8, 2020 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in and in Relation to Syria On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894 , I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 ) 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 Syria. The situation in and in relation to Syria, and in particular the actions by the Government of Turkey to conduct a military offensive into northeast Syria, undermines the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, endangers civilians, and further threatens to undermine the peace, security, and stability in the region, and 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 on October 14, 2019, must continue in effect beyond October 14, 2020. 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 13894 with respect to the situation in and in relation to Syria. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. THE WHITE HOUSE, October 8, 2020. [ FR Doc. 2020-22769 Filed 10-9-20; 11:15 am] Billing code 3295-F1-P

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
