Trump extended a national emergency regarding Yemen for another year. This emergency was first started in 2012 to deal with groups that threaten the peace and stability of that country.
The order specifically mentions the Houthis as a major threat. Their actions continue to create problems for the security and foreign policy of the United States.
This extension allows the government to keep using special powers like sanctions. These powers help block the money and resources of people or groups that are trying to stop a peaceful transition of power in Yemen.
The emergency will now stay in effect past May 16, 2026. Without this yearly update, the legal authority to maintain these specific security measures would expire.
