This presidential determination certifies that Colombia meets the statutory conditions for U.S. drug interdiction assistance, specifically allowing support for intercepting aircraft suspected of illicit drug trafficking in Colombian airspace. It continues a long-standing authority under the 1995 NDAA that requires periodic presidential certification of both the threat level and Colombia's safeguards against innocent casualties.
Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation
This executive order establishes a comprehensive national quantum strategy, directing multiple agencies to accelerate U.S. leadership in quantum information science and technology (QIST) through research investment, domestic supply chain development, workforce expansion, and international alliance-building.

The determination maintains existing policy rather than introducing new restrictions.
Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
This executive order expands sanctions against Cuba by blocking property of foreign persons operating in key Cuban sectors (energy, defense, metals/mining, financial services, security), Cuban government officials, and their adult family members.

This presidential determination finds that providing defense articles and services to the Board of Peace will strengthen U.S. security and promote world peace, authorizing the Secretary of State to transmit the determination and justification to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register.

This executive order eliminates the 25 percent additional ad valorem duty on imports from India that was imposed by EO 14329 in August 2025, effective February 7, 2026. The removal is conditioned on India's commitments to stop importing Russian oil, purchase U.S. energy products, and expand defense cooperation with the United States over the next decade.
Designating the Board of Peace as a Public International Organization Entitled To Enjoy Certain Privileges, Exemptions, and Immunities
This executive order designates the "Board of Peace" as a public international organization under the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), granting it privileges, exemptions, and immunities.

Safeguarding Venezuelan Oil Revenue for the Good of the American and Venezuelan People
This executive order declares a national emergency under IEEPA to block judicial attachment or other legal process against Venezuelan government oil revenue held in U.S. Treasury accounts.

Withdrawing the United States From International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties That Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States
This memorandum directs the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations—35 non-UN entities and 31 UN organizations—deemed contrary to U.S. interests, based on a review conducted under Executive Order 14199.

Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting

Delegation of Authority Under Section 614(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
This memorandum delegates presidential authority to the Secretary of State to approve up to $25.9 million in cluster munitions technology sales to South Korea under the Arms Export Control Act, bypassing normal statutory restrictions under the Foreign Assistance Act's national security waiver provision.

Denial of Presidential Permit for the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas
President Biden denied a Presidential Permit for the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas to build and operate an international bridge crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas. The denial, based on the Secretary of State's recommendation that the project is not in the foreign policy interest of the United States, blocks the tribe's proposed commercial and personal vehicle crossing.
Designating Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
This executive order designates illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), directing the Attorney General, Secretaries of State, Treasury, War, and Homeland Security to take enforcement, financial sanctions, military-chemical response, and intelligence actions against fentanyl trafficking networks.

This determination, issued under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, imposes foreign assistance restrictions on 17 governments for FY 2026 due to inadequate anti-trafficking efforts.

The modification follows negotiations between the U.S. and Brazilian presidents and ongoing diplomatic engagement.
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 1245(d)(4)(B) and (C) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
This presidential determination finds that global petroleum markets have sufficient non-Iranian supply to allow significant reductions in Iranian oil purchases through foreign financial institutions. It continues the sanctions framework under NDAA FY2012 that restricts foreign financial institutions from processing Iranian oil transactions. The determination maintains existing policy without imposing new restrictions or lifting current ones.
The Gold Card
This executive order creates a 'Gold Card' visa program requiring a $1 million individual or $2 million corporate gift to the Department of Commerce in exchange for expedited immigrant visa eligibility.

Extension of Waiver of Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act with Respect to Assistance to the Government of Azerbaijan
President Biden extends the annual waiver of Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act, allowing U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan to continue despite restrictions. The waiver is justified by counterterrorism cooperation, operational readiness support for U.S. and coalition forces, Azerbaijan's border security, and assurances it won't undermine Armenia-Azerbaijan peace negotiations or be used offensively against Armenia.
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation
This executive order imposes an additional 25 percent ad valorem tariff on all imports from India, effective August 27, 2025, on the determination that India is directly or indirectly importing Russian oil.

Continuation of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance to the Government of Colombia
This determination certifies that Colombia meets statutory requirements for continued U.S. assistance in drug interdiction operations, specifically the interception of aircraft suspected of illicit drug trafficking in Colombian airspace. It extends a long-standing counter-narcotics security cooperation program originally authorized by the 1995 NDAA.
Presidential Determination and Certification with Respect to the Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008
President Trump waived a prohibition on U.S. security assistance to Turkey under the Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008, certifying that Turkey is taking effective steps to address child soldier use.

Withdrawing the United States From and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to All International Organizations
This executive order withdraws U.S. participation from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), ends all funding to UNRWA (the Palestinian refugee agency), and withholds U.S. proportionate funding for UNHRC from the UN Regular Budget. It also mandates two reviews: a 90-day review of UNESCO membership led by the Secretary of State, and a broader 180-day review of all international organizations, conventions, and treaties to identify those contrary to U.S. interests and recommend potential withdrawals.
The Mexico City Policy
This memorandum revokes the Biden administration's 2021 policy rescinding the Mexico City Policy and reinstates the Trump-era 2017 version, which prohibits U.S. foreign aid funding for organizations that provide, counsel on, or refer for abortions.
