Trump extended a national emergency regarding the situation in South Sudan for another year. This emergency was first started in 2014 to address violence and human rights problems in that country.
The order allows the government to keep using special powers like sanctions. These tools are used to target people or groups involved in activities like using child soldiers, attacking peacekeepers, or blocking humanitarian aid.
The White House says the situation in South Sudan is still a threat to national security and foreign policy. By keeping the emergency active, the government can continue to pressure leaders in the region to stop the fighting.
This extension does not change daily life for most Americans. It mostly affects international relations and how the government handles money or trade with specific individuals linked to the conflict in South Sudan.
