  • WASHINGTON (AP)
  • President Joe Biden has approved a new national security memorandum that is meant to serve as a roadmap for the incoming Trump administration as it looks to counter growing cooperation among China, Iran, North Korea and Russia, the White House said Wednesday.

President Joe Biden has approved a national security memorandum aimed at enhancing the security of classified information following a series of high-profile leaks. This directive, which was signed on Monday, mandates stricter protocols for handling sensitive data across government agencies. It comes in response to incidents like the unauthorized disclosure of Pentagon documents by a Massachusetts Air National Guard member, which compromised national security. The memo emphasizes the need for better oversight, accountability, and the implementation of advanced technological solutions to safeguard classified information. It also calls for regular training and awareness programs for personnel with access to such data, aiming to prevent future breaches and ensure that only authorized individuals have access to critical information.
