                          PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

                                 ______
                                 

     REPORT OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY THAT WAS 
ORIGINALLY DECLARED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 14014 OF FEBRUARY 10, 2021, WITH 
                         RESPECT TO BURMA--PM 9

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) 
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, 
within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the 
President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the 
Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect 
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have 
sent to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice 
stating that the national emergency with respect to the situation in 
and in relation to Burma declared in Executive Order 14014 of February 
10, 2021, is to continue in effect beyond February 10, 2025.
  The situation in and in relation to Burma, and in particular the 
February 1, 2021, coup--in which the military overthrew the 
democratically elected civilian government of Burma and unjustly 
arrested and detained government leaders, politicians, human rights 
defenders, journalists, and religious leaders, thereby rejecting the 
will of the people of Burma and undermining the country's democratic 
transition and rule of law--continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 
continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14014 with 
respect to the situation in and in relation to Burma.
                                                     Donald J. Trump,  
The White House, February 4, 2025.
