Donald Trump Gives Vladimir Putin U.S. Security Clearance.
Donald Trump has signaled both publicly and privately that he no longer considers Russia a major cyber threat to US national security and critical infrastructure.
The shift, which starkly contradicts years of warnings from intelligence officials, has raised alarm among cybersecurity experts who fear that the United States is leaving itself exposed to Russian cyberattacks just as global tensions reach boiling point.
On Sunday night, it was reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered US Cyber Command to cease all offensive cyberoperations against Russia.
'It's incomprehensible to give a speech about threats in cyberspace and not mention Russia and it's delusional to think this will turn Russia and the FSB [the Russian security agency] into our friends,' James Lewis, a veteran cyber expert, told The Guardian.
'They hate the US and are still mad about losing the cold war. Pretending otherwise won't change this.'
Hegseth's directive, which is part of a broader reassessment of all U.S. military operations against Russia, has yet to be publicly explained.
