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.

According to reports, the order includes measures to restrict the use of foreign technologies that could potentially be used for cyberattacks and disruptions of the country's critical energy infrastructure.

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.
