From the notice

On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894, 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 threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the legacy situation in and in relation to Syria. On January 15, 2025, the President issued Executive Order 14142 in view of changing circumstances on the ground in Syria and in order to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13894. On June 30, 2025, I issued Executive Order 14312 to expand the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13894 and to take additional steps to ensure meaningful accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, human rights violations and abuses, and the proliferation of narcotics trafficking networks in and in relation to Syria during the former regime of Bashar al-Assad and by those associated with it, as perpetrators of such actions threaten to undermine the peace, security, and stability in the region. This situation continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
