This Presidential Proclamation, building upon Executive Order 14161 and Proclamation 10949, continues and modifies restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals from specific countries deemed to have deficient screening, vetting, and information-sharing capabilities that pose national security and public safety risks.

The President finds that unrestricted entry from these nations is detrimental to U.S. interests, citing issues like unreliable civil documentation, widespread corruption, cooperation failures (such as refusing to accept repatriated nationals), and high visa overstay rates.

The proclamation fully suspends entry for nationals of 19 countries (12 continuing from previous action and 7 new additions) and partially suspends or modifies restrictions for 4 others, while also suspending entry for individuals using travel documents issued or endorsed by the Palestinian Authority, and it narrows exceptions, particularly for family-based immigrant visas.

This presidential action, issued on December 15, 2025, proclaims that date as Bill of Rights Day, marking the 250th anniversary of American independence and celebrating the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

The President recounts the historical context provided by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, emphasizing that these core amendments secure fundamental freedoms like speech, arms possession, due process, and protection against cruel punishment.

The proclamation reaffirms a commitment to upholding constitutional heritage, restoring the rule of law, and preserving a free, self-governing Republic for future generations, calling upon the American people and educators to observe the day with appropriate activities.

A Presidential Action formally designates illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) based on their lethal nature, the national security threat posed by the cartels manufacturing them, and the potential for weaponization.

The order directs relevant executive departments, including Justice, State, Treasury, Defense, and Homeland Security, to take immediate and appropriate actions to implement this designation, involving enhanced investigations, prosecutions, financial sanctions, military support for domestic enforcement, and intelligence gathering using WMD counter-proliferation frameworks.

This Presidential Action establishes the policy that the United States must sustain global Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominance through a minimally burdensome national framework, overriding conflicting state regulations that threaten innovation.

The order mandates the creation of an AI Litigation Task Force within the Justice Department to challenge specific state AI laws deemed unlawful or unduly burdensome.

Furthermore, it directs the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to evaluate existing state laws—identifying those that compel alterations to truthful AI outputs—and establishes mechanisms to restrict federal funding for states maintaining conflicting regulations, while instructing staff to prepare a unified legislative recommendation for Congress.

This Presidential Action establishes Food Supply Chain Security Task Forces within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate anti-competitive behavior, including price fixing, and assess risks posed by foreign control over U.S. food-related industries.

The initiative aims to ensure an affordable and secure food supply by empowering these agencies to take necessary enforcement actions, initiate criminal proceedings if appropriate, and brief Congress on progress and potential legislative recommendations within 180 and 365 days of issuance.

This Presidential Proclamation officially designates December 7, 2025, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, honoring the 2,403 Americans killed in the unprovoked Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which thrust the United States into World War II. The President reflects on the courage of the "Greatest Generation," emphasizes the enduring, strong alliance with Japan today, and encourages all Americans to observe the day with reverence, including flying the U.S. flag at half-staff to remember those patriots who died defending the homeland.

President Donald J. Trump issued a Proclamation establishing December 7, 2025, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, commemorating the 84th anniversary of the unprovoked 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan that drew the United States into World War II. The document reflects on the sacrifice of the 'Greatest Generation,' acknowledges the current strong alliance with Japan, and calls upon all Americans and Federal agencies to observe the solemn day with appropriate ceremonies and to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff.

The document is a Presidential Proclamation ordering that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff at the White House, all public buildings, military posts, naval stations, and embassies until sunset on December 4, 2025.

This action is taken as a mark of respect for the memory of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of the West Virginia Army National Guard.
