I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets. The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons.
I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Also because he isn't targeting nation states and includes language addressing people abroad this is a bit of a world police kind of move.
Americans are always worried about NWO but we never think about us becoming the NWO. The NWO will be instituted over a legitamate issue. Important subject, wrong aproach from the wrong body will be the NWOs marching order. UN could say that Chicago violence is an important issue but wrong body.
Also it looks like the American war machine finally found its path into Africa. I would kill for that Patreaus et al China-Africa war strategy meme.

Considering China is already moving in, its unavoidable that we would move in as well to make sure they don't go overboard.
