U.S. Extends National Emergency Over Yemen for One Year
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The notice keeps the U.S. national emergency related to Yemen in force for another year, beyond May 16, 2026. It says the actions of the Houthis and others continue to threaten Yemen’s peace and stability, and that this remains a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy. For businesses and compliance teams, the practical point is continuity. Existing Yemen-related sanctions and controls tied to Executive Order 13611 remain active, so companies, banks, insurers, logistics providers, and others dealing with Yemen-linked transactions should continue screening counterparties and monitoring sanctions exposure.
