This action keeps a long-running national emergency in place for one more year. It was first created in 2003 to help rebuild Iraq and keep the region stable after the war.
The policy gives the government special powers to handle threats in Iraq. These powers help protect Iraq's money and support its efforts to build a steady government and police force.
Trump stated that the problems in Iraq still pose a serious threat to American national security. Without this extension, the legal tools used to help stabilize the country would expire on May 22, 2026.
For most Americans, this does not change daily life or costs. It mainly affects how the government manages foreign policy and protects assets related to Iraq's recovery.
