Key Findings

• On January 7, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations, including several global cybersecurity entities.
• This memorandum aligns with the Trump administration’s broader and ongoing review of U.S. participation in all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties.
• There is a roughly even chance that reduced U.S. participation in international cybersecurity and digital policy efforts will affect information-sharing, coordination on standards, and the alignment of U.S. law and policy with evolving multinational cybersecurity frameworks.
