What does Executive Order 13810 do?

EO 13810 expanded the North Korea national emergency by authorizing property blocking for people Treasury determined to operate in named sectors, facilitate significant trade or support blocked persons. It also addressed foreign financial institutions and transport-related restrictions. These measures required the specified findings or covered transactions; the order did not designate every business in a listed sector automatically. OFAC still lists EO 13810 under its North Korea program, alongside statutes, regulations and other orders.

Administration position: The order’s threat assessment was the administration’s stated basis; individual designations need the applicable determination.
