The President

Executive Order 13857 of January 25, 2019

With Respect to Venezuela

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the

laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies

Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States

Code,

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, in order

to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared

in Executive Order 13692 of March 8, 2015, and relied upon for additional

13827 of March 19, 2018, Executive Order 13835 of May 21, 2018, and

Executive Order 13850 of November 1, 2018, particularly in light of actions

by persons affiliated with the illegitimate Maduro regime, including human

rights violations and abuses in response to anti-Maduro protests, arbitrary

arrest and detention of anti-Maduro protestors, curtailment of press freedom,

harassment of political opponents, and continued attempts to undermine

the Interim President of Venezuela and undermine the National Assembly,

the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the Venezuelan

people, and to prevent the Interim President and the National Assembly

from exercising legitimate authority in Venezuela, hereby order:
