Determination
Continuation of the Exercise of Certain Authorities Under the Trading With the Enemy Act
Signed August 29, 2025, printed at 90 FR 42795. 150 words.
An old wartime law gives the President some powers. This keeps those powers in force.
What It Says
Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the Secretary of the Treasury Under section 101(b) of Public Law 95-223 (91 Stat. 1625; 50 U.S.C. 4305 note), and a previous determination on September 13, 2024 (89 FR 76397, September 18, 2024), the exercise of certain authorities under the Trading With the Enemy Act is scheduled to expire on September 14, 2025. I hereby determine that the continuation of the exercise of those authorities with respect to Cuba for 1 year is in the national interest of the United States. Therefore, consistent with the authority vested in me by section 101(b) of Public Law 95-223, I continue for 1 year, until September 14, 2026, the exercise of those authorities with respect to Cuba, as implemented by the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 CFR Part 515. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to publish this determination in the Federal Register.

What a Determination Is
A determination is a finding a statute requires the President to make before something can happen: that a country qualifies, that a waiver is justified, that a transfer is in the national interest.
