CBSN
Multiple U.S. officials tell CBS News that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.
The duration of the pause is unclear, and the reasoning behind it is unknown at this time. The change comes amid President Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, and just two days after Mr. Trump sparred with Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office exchange.
The directive was first reported by The Record, a cybersecurity news publication.
