Trump is extending a national emergency that deals with North Korea for another year. This emergency has been in place since 2008 and must be renewed every year to stay active.
The order keeps strict economic sanctions on North Korea. These rules are designed to block the country from using the global banking system to fund its nuclear and missile programs.
The government believes North Korea still poses a serious threat to the security and economy of the United States. This includes concerns about cyber-attacks and the smuggling of illegal goods.
By continuing this emergency, the United States can keep working with other countries to limit North Korea's ability to trade. This helps enforce international rules against the country's weapons testing.
