Trump is keeping a national emergency in place that was first started in 2015 to deal with cyberattacks. This extension keeps the emergency active for one more year until April 2027.
The policy targets hackers and groups outside the United States who try to steal data or disrupt the economy. It allows the government to use special powers like freezing the bank accounts of foreign cyber criminals.
This matters because digital threats from other countries continue to grow. By keeping the emergency status, the government can react quickly to new types of hacking or digital spying that could hurt American businesses and infrastructure.
