Trump Orders US Exit from Global Cyber and Hybrid Threat Coalitions

The report details the U.S. decision to withdraw from the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise, and the Freedom Online Coalition, signaling a shift toward a unilateral “America First” cyber posture. It highlights likely consequences including weakened NATO–EU coordination against hybrid threats, a vacuum in global cyber capacity-building efforts that rivals may fill, and reduced U.S. leadership on internet freedom, potentially emboldening authoritarian digital controls.
