Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Brazil

On July 30, 2025, by Executive Order 14323, I declared a national emergency with respect to Brazil pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the policies, practices, and actions of the Government of Brazil that interfere with the economy of the United States, infringe on the free expression rights of United States persons, violate human rights, and undermine the interest the United States has in protecting its citizens and companies. Members of the Government of Brazil are also politically persecuting a former President of Brazil, his family, and his followers, which is contributing to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Brazil, to politically motivated intimidation in that country, and to human rights abuses.

Certain activities, such as the Brazil Supreme Court's censorship and imprisonment of those exercising free expression and censorship of online content, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14323 of July 30, 2025, must continue in effect beyond July 30, 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 with respect to Brazil declared in Executive Order 14323.

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