The Trump administration is aggressively reversing initiatives created to combat foreign influence in U.S. elections after Russia's attempts to disrupt the 2016 election. Key personnel at the Department of Homeland Security have been placed on leave, and an FBI task force targeting foreign influence campaigns has been disbanded. The move has raised alarm among experts who highlight the risks of allowing foreign adversaries like Russia and China to assert greater influence in American politics. The administration's actions are framed as reallocating resources but signal a retreat from previous vigilance.
In an aggressive move, the Trump administration is dismantling efforts established to combat foreign interference in U.S. elections, which gained urgency after the 2016 election.
