Message to the Congress on the Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Serious Human Rights Abuse and Corruption
whitehouse.gov ^ | December 18, 2019 | President Donald Trump

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 before 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 declared in Executive Order 13818 of December 20, 2017, is to continue in effect beyond December 20, 2019.

The prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, continue to threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; undermine economic markets; and continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13818 with respect to serious human rights abuse and corruption.

DONALD J. TRUMP

THE WHITE HOUSE, December 18, 2019.

“human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States”

Outside CONUS law violations operate a little differently someone once said. (Philman, I think.) I do not know anything about this subject so it would be up to some Attorney Freeper to speak to the subject. You generally cannot be prosecuted in the U.S. for illegality committed out side the country. I think that one example where you would, would be Sex tourism, where the U.S. Citizen engages in pedophilia.

Will this have something to do with Kelly Ann’s surprise? Lets hope!

I’ve not been able to read everything as I like today. What did Kelly Ann’s say?

There was apparently a deleted twitter feed in which someone reported that they would have some sort of surprise tomorrow.

(Official “House Standard” heresay! You can count on it!)
