Y FELLOW AMERICANS,

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED ME ON THE PROMISE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. I PROMISED THAT

I WOULD PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS AND PROMOTE THE WELFARE AND ECONOMY OF OUR GREAT

CITIZENS.

DURING MY FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE, I DESIGNATED TRANSPORTATION AND MARITIME SECTOR

CYBERSECURITY AS A PRIORITY FOR MY ADMINISTRATION. IN KEEPING WITH MY PROMISE AND THIS

PRIORITY, I AM CONTINUING TO PROMOTE THE SECOND PILLAR OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY,

PROMOTE AMERICAN PROSPERITY, BY APPROVING THE NATIONAL MARITIME CYBERSECURITY PLAN.

THE NATIONAL MARITIME CYBERSECURITY PLAN EXPLAINS HOW MY ADMINISTRATION WILL:

• DEFEND THE AMERICAN ECONOMY BY ESTABLISHING INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MEASURES

OF RISKS TO THE MARITIME SUB-SECTOR AND STANDARDS TO MITIGATE THOSE RISKS;

• PROMOTE PROSPERITY THROUGH INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENCE SHARING; AND

• PRESERVE AND INCREASE OUR GREAT NATION’S CYBER WORKFORCE

THE NATIONAL MARITIME CYBERSECURITY PLAN DEMONSTRATES MY COMMITMENT TO PROMOTING

AMERICAN PROSPERITY BY STRENGTHENING OUR CYBERSECURITY. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL

NATIONS TO JOIN US IN PROTECTING THE VITAL MARITIME SECTOR THAT INTERCONNECTS US.

SINCERELY,

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

THE WHITE HOUSE

DECEMBER, 2020
