Trump Memo Expands US Cyber Authority Against Foreign Crime Networks
President Trump signed a memorandum broadening federal authority to use cyber tools against foreign transnational criminal organizations, with a lead role for Homeland Security's National Coordination Center.
The new directive widens the federal government's ability to deploy cyber capabilities against transnational criminal groups based abroad.
It assigns the Homeland Security National Coordination Center to target overseas criminal networks and expands cooperation with the private sector on cyber operations.
The measure is framed as part of broader US efforts to counter cross-border criminal threats.
