                I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of 
                America, find that it is necessary to consolidate and 
                enhance sanctions to combat acts of terrorism and 
                threats of terrorism by foreign terrorists, acts that 
                are recognized and condemned in the above-referenced 
                United Nations Security Council resolutions. 
                Accordingly, I hereby terminate the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995,

                build upon the initial steps taken in Executive Order 
                12947, to further strengthen and consolidate sanctions 
                to combat the continuing threat posed by international 
                terrorism, and in order to take additional steps to 
                deal with the national emergency declared in Executive
