Continuation of the National Emergency and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Russian-Affiliated Vessels to United States Ports

Key Points

• This order extends a national emergency that allows the government to restrict Russian ships from entering or moving through U.S. ports for another year.
• The Department of Homeland Security keeps the power to control where these ships anchor and how they travel to protect national security and international relations.
• This policy was first put in place in 2022 and is being renewed because the government believes Russia's actions still pose a threat to the United States.
• While this does not directly affect most people's daily lives, it impacts international shipping companies and businesses that trade goods with Russia.
