                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.
                <GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT>
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 4, 2026.
