This policy extends a national emergency regarding the country of Mali for one more year. It continues a set of rules first put in place by Trump in 2019 to address security threats in West Africa.
The extension allows the government to keep using sanctions against people who cause instability. This includes those involved in government takeovers, terrorist attacks, or the trafficking of drugs and people.
Mali has seen a rise in violence from terrorist groups and foreign mercenaries. The White House says these problems continue to threaten the safety of civilians and the national security of the United States.
This action does not cost taxpayers extra money directly. Instead, it gives officials the power to freeze the bank accounts and block the travel of specific individuals who are making the conflict worse.
