Furthermore, the Secretaries are tasked with facilitating appropriate aerial photography while ensuring government facility security, with all associated publication costs assigned to the Department of the Interior.

The President declared a national emergency, citing the Government of Cuba's alignment with hostile entities like Russia and Iran, hosting foreign intelligence facilities, supporting transnational terrorist groups, and perpetrating human rights abuses against its populace.

Based on this determination, which invokes the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the order establishes a mechanism to impose additional *ad valorem* tariffs on goods imported from any foreign country that directly or indirectly sells or provides oil to Cuba, with implementation and monitoring delegated primarily to the Secretaries of Commerce and State.

This Presidential Action establishes the White House Great American Recovery Initiative (Initiative) to elevate and coordinate the national response to the addiction crisis, which affects 16.8 percent of the population and costs the United States hundreds of billions annually.

The Initiative will be co-chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Senior Advisor for Addiction Recovery, comprising numerous cabinet-level officials and agency heads.

Its goals include coordinating federal programs, increasing public awareness of addiction as a chronic disease, advising agencies on integrating prevention, treatment, and recovery support across various systems (healthcare, criminal justice, housing), and consulting with state and community partners to advance a national effort toward recovery.

The President issued a Proclamation designating the year 2026 as the "Year of Celebration and Rededication" to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, tracing the nation's ideals back to the Declaration of Independence and citing historical figures and religious devotion as foundational elements.

This Presidential Action asserts that state and local governments in California failed to manage the aftermath of devastating Los Angeles wildfires, causing significant delays in rebuilding despite extensive federal debris removal and financial aid allocation.

The order mandates immediate and decisive federal action to circumvent these perceived state and local bureaucratic obstacles, primarily directing the Secretary of Homeland Security (via FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to consider regulations that preempt local permitting processes and replace them with federal self-certification requirements for builders, all while expediting federal reviews under environmental and preservation laws and requiring accountability audits of prior federal grant usage.

This Presidential Action continues the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council, which was initially established by Executive Order 14180, until March 25, 2026.

The order delegates the President's functions related to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as they apply to the Council, to the Secretary of Homeland Security to perform in accordance with GSA guidelines.

The action, effective January 24, 2026, also includes standard provisions regarding statutory authority, funding availability, and assurances that the order does not create new enforceable legal rights.

This Presidential Action, issued under the authority vested in the President, aims to stop large Wall Street institutional investors from outcompeting American families for single-family homes, citing high inflation and interest rates as barriers to the American dream of homeownership.

The order directs several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, to issue guidance preventing the facilitated purchase or disposal of single-family homes to large institutional investors, promoting sales instead to owner-occupants.

Furthermore, it mandates reviews for anti-competitive effects in local markets and calls for legislative recommendations to codify this policy permanently.
