President Donald Trump has signed an order that establishes a state of emergency in the United States. This measure aims to protect the country's energy sector from external threats deemed dangerous.

The announcement comes amid growing concerns about the security of US energy grids, which are allegedly at risk from foreign equipment, as explained on the White House website.
