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 13692. This notice shall be published in the *Federal Register* and transmitted to the Congress. Trump.EPS THE WHITE HOUSE, February 18, 2026. [FR Doc. 2026-03502 Filed 2-19-26; 11:15 am]
