Statement by the President
LAW & JUSTICE -- Issued on: December 11, 2018
Today, I have signed into law H.R. 390, the “Iraq and
Syria Genocide Emergency Relief and Accountability Act
of 2018” (the “Act”). Sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Act
purport to require the executive branch to adopt a
particular foreign policy or direct certain negotiations
with foreign persons and entities. My Administration
will treat these provisions in a manner consistent with
the President’s exclusive constitutional authorities in
the area of foreign relations. In addition, section 7
of the Act purports to require the Secretary of State to
make certain legislative recommendations. My
Administration will treat this provision in a manner
consistent with Article II, section 3 of the
Constitution, which provides the President the
discretion to recommend for the consideration of the
Congress only “such measures as he shall judge necessary
and expedient.”
DONALD J. TRUMP
