The President has decided to extend the national emergency declared on April 21, 2022, which relates to the regulation of Russian-affiliated vessels entering U.S. ports. This continuation is due to ongoing disturbances in U.S. international relations caused by the actions of the Russian government. Under this emergency, the Secretary of Homeland Security remains authorized to control the anchorage and movement of these vessels. This decision needs to be recorded in the Federal Register and reported to Congress.
Simple Explanation
The President wants to keep a special rule going that stops ships tied to Russia from coming into U.S. ports because of problems between the countries. He has told the person in charge of safety to keep watching these ships.
