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.) (IEEPA), 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 particularly in light of recent actions and policies of the
Government of Venezuela, including serious abuses of human
rights and fundamental freedoms; responsibility for the
deepening humanitarian crisis in Venezuela; establishment of an
illegitimate Constituent Assembly, which has usurped the power
of the democratically elected National Assembly and other
branches of the Government of Venezuela; rampant public
corruption; and ongoing repression and persecution of, and
violence toward, the political opposition, hereby order as
follows:
Section 1. (a) All transactions related to, provision of
financing for, and other dealings in the following by a United
States person or within the United States are prohibited:
(i) new debt with a maturity of greater than 90 days of
Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA);
(ii) new debt with a maturity of greater than 30 days, or new
equity, of the Government of Venezuela, other than debt of PdVSA
covered by subsection (a)(i) of this section;
(iii) bonds issued by the Government of Venezuela prior to the
effective date of this order;
(iv) dividend payments or other distributions of profits to the
Government of Venezuela from any entity owned or controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the Government of Venezuela.
(b) The purchase, directly or indirectly, by a United States
person or within the United States, of securities from the
2
Government of Venezuela, other than securities qualifying as new
debt with a maturity of less than or equal to 90 or 30 days as
covered by subsections (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this section,
respectively, is prohibited.
(c) The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) of this section
apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in
regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued
pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered
into or any license or permit granted before the effective date
of this order.
Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the
purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or
attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this
order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set
forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 3. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust,
joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other
organization;
(c) the term “United States person” means any United States
citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the
laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the
United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the
United States; and
(d) the term “Government of Venezuela” means the Government of
Venezuela, any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality
thereof, including the Central Bank of Venezuela and PdVSA, and
any person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf
of, the Government of Venezuela.
Sec. 4. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions,
including promulgating rules and regulations, and to employ all
powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to
implement this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may,
consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these
functions to other officers and executive departments and
3
agencies of the United States Government. All agencies of the
United States Government shall take all appropriate measures
within their authority to carry out the provisions of this
order.
Sec. 5. For those persons whose property or interests in
property are affected by this order who might have a
constitutional presence in the United States, I find that
because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets
instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be
taken pursuant to this order would render those measures
ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to
be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13692, there need be no prior notice of a
listing or determination made pursuant to this order.
Sec. 6. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
or in equity by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or
agents, or any other person.
Sec. 7. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on August 25, 2017.
