One-Year Extension: Russian Ship Controls
On April 15, 2026 the President continued the national emergency and the authority to regulate where Russian-affiliated vessels may anchor and move in U.S. ports for 1 additional year. This affects Russian-linked vessels trying to dock in the United States and keeps the existing rules in place through April 15, 2027. The action is taken because the policies and actions of the Russian Federation continue to be described as a disturbance or threatened disturbance of U.S. international relations.
