U.S. President Trump Continues National Emergency over Western Balkans

U.S. President Trump has continued national emergency with respect to the Western Balkans.

“The actions of persons threatening the peace and international stabilization efforts in the Western Balkans, including acts of extremist violence and obstructionist activity, and the situation in the Western Balkans, which stymies progress toward effective and democratic governance and full integration into transatlantic institutions, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13219, under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13304, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order 14033, and under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14140, must continue in effect beyond June 26, 2026”, the document says.
