                Notice of March 2, 2018

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Venezuela

                On March 8, 2015, the President issued Executive Order 
                13692, declaring a national emergency with respect to 
                the situation in Venezuela based on the Government of 
                Venezuela's erosion of human rights guarantees, 
                persecution of political opponents, curtailment of 
                press freedoms, use of violence and human rights 
                violations and abuses in response to antigovernment 
                protests, and arbitrary arrest and detention of 
                antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating 
                presence of significant government corruption.

                On August 24, 2017, I issued Executive Order 13808 to 
                take additional steps with respect to the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 13692, 
                particularly in light of recent actions and policies of 
                the Government of Venezuela, including serious abuses 
                of human rights and fundamental freedoms; 
                responsibility for the deepening humanitarian crisis in 
                Venezuela; establishment of an illegitimate Constituent 
                Assembly, which usurped the power of the democratically 
                elected National Assembly and other branches of the 
                Government of Venezuela; rampant public corruption; and 
                ongoing repression and persecution of, and violence 
                toward, the political opposition.

                The circumstances described in Executive Order 13692 
                and Executive Order 13808 have not improved, and they 
                continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States. 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 13692.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 2, 2018.
