Trump Administration’s Alleged Collusion with Russia Exposes US to Cyber Threats
The Trump administration’s downplaying of Russia’s cyber threats against US national security represents a significant shift from established intelligence assessments. This policy change, seemingly reflecting improved US-Russia relations, leaves the US vulnerable to Russian hacking. Evidence includes a State Department official omitting Russia from a UN cybersecurity threat assessment and internal memos instructing agencies to cease reporting on Russian cyber threats. Experts warn this inaction jeopardizes US infrastructure and contradicts prior warnings of significant Russian cyber capabilities targeting both domestic and international interests.
