Trump Continues Nationwide Emergency Due to Terror Threat for Another Year
US President Donald Trump has prolonged on Monday the national emergency with respect to terrorist attacks for another year, according to the White House.
"Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2017," Trump stated. "Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, in response to certain terrorist attacks."
The document has been sent to the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress on Monday.
