Joseph Jarnecki, a research fellow in cyber threats and cybersecurity at the Royal United Services Institute, spoke to Newsweek about the impacts of a second Trump term on America's cyber strategy. "A second Trump administration will change how the U.S. engages on cybersecurity internationally," he said, adding that the Biden administration had "prioritized coalition-building activities" such as appointing Nathaniel Fink as the inaugural ambassador at large for cyberspace and digital policy, as well as creating such groups as the Counter Ransomware Initiative. "With political appointments transferring from Democrat to Republican, it is likely that many of these initiatives will be abandoned."
