                Notice of December 12, 2022

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Global Illicit Drug Trade

                On December 15, 2021, by Executive Order 14059, I 
                declared a national emergency pursuant to the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
                policy, and economy of the United States constituted by 
                global illicit drug trafficking.

                The trafficking into the United States of illicit 
                drugs, including fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, 
                is causing the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans 
                annually, as well as countless more non-fatal overdoses 
                with their own tragic human toll. Drug cartels, 
                transnational criminal organizations, and their 
                facilitators are the primary sources of illicit drugs 
                and precursor chemicals that fuel the current opioid 
                epidemic, as well as drug-related violence that harms 
                our communities. International drug trafficking--
                including the illicit production, global sale, and 
                widespread distribution of illegal drugs; the rise of 
                extremely potent drugs such as fentanyl and other 
                synthetic opioids; as well as the growing role of 
                Internet-based drug sales--continues to pose an unusual 
                and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
                foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For 
                this reason, the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 14059 of December 15, 2021, must 
                continue in effect beyond December 15, 2022. Therefore, 
                in accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive 
                Order 14059 with respect to global illicit drug 
                trafficking.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    December 12, 2022.
