Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Widespread Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan and the Potential for a Deepening Economic Collapse in Afghanistan
Trump extends Afghanistan national emergency, keeping central bank assets in the U.S. blocked
Key Points
- Trump continues for 1 year a national emergency tied to Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis and risk of economic collapse.
- The notice says the crisis (food, water, health care, shelter, and livelihoods) is still an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
- The action keeps certain Afghanistan central bank property held at U.S. financial institutions blocked, meaning it cannot be accessed or moved without U.S. approval.
- The blocked property matters partly because lawsuits and legal claims (including by victims of terrorism) have been raised or signaled against it.
- The notice directs that this continuation be published and sent to Congress, keeping the emergency authorities in place through February 2027.
