National Emergency Extended One Year
The President continued the national emergency with respect to North Korea for 1 year beyond June 26, 2025 (notice dated June 20, 2025). That means the emergency authorities invoked in Executive Order 13466 and its subsequent expansions remain in effect through June 26, 2026.

If your business or organization trades with or handles financial transactions related to North Korea, those prohibitions and controls continue as active policy.
