Trump declares emergency to safeguard power grid
U.S. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to protect the American power grid from risks associated with foreign equipment, aiming to prevent companies from purchasing, importing, or installing foreign components within the energy transmission system. This move comes amid rising energy demand and the advent of AI technologies, which have made electrical infrastructure a potential target for external attacks. The decision intends to block the use of equipment that may contain backdoors allowing remote control, especially from countries under sanctions or those that the Trump administration considers to act against U.S. interests.
