While on his 9 day trip abroad, Donald Trump told world leaders to call his private cellphone is they wanted to chat – a breach of protocol and a threat to national security.
Trump previously told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to call him directly, and so far Trudeau has taken him up on his offer.
French President Emmanuel Macron received Trump’s personal cellphone number while the 2 met at the NATO summit.
The problem with Trump handing out his personal cellphone number is that it’s not a secure phone.
Derek Chollet, former National Security Council and Pentagon adviser, explained: “If you are speaking on an open line, then it’s an open line, meaning those who have the ability to monitor those conversations are doing so. [Trump] doesn’t carry with him a secure phone. If someone is trying to spy on you, then everything you’re saying, you have to presume that others are listening to it.”
Trump’s iPhone has just one app on it – so he can use Twitter.
Since the inauguration, it is assumed that Trump uses the cellphone given to him by the Secret Service, but even that cannot be assured.
On January 20th, Trump did not respond to a call on his secured cellphone from intelligence officials concerning Russia. However minutes later, Trump called back using an “unknown number”.
Matthew Green, cryptographer and professor of computer science at the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute, explained that any president must use a phone without “any internet connection” because otherwise he is putting the nation at a grave risk to cyberattacks.
Tom Lowenthal, digital security technologist with the Committee to Protect Journalists, also pointed out that cellphones in general should be “kept out of high-level meetings as there are chances those devices’ microphone could turned through certain hacks.”
Chollet asserts that Trump “doesn’t carry with him a secure phone”, therefore it is safe to assume that “if someone is trying to spy on you, then everything you’re saying, you have to presume that others are listening to it.”
Handing over the phone was a problem for Trump after the election. He was “worried” that he would not “able to keep his Android phone once he gets to the White House and wonders aloud how isolated he will become — and whether he will be able to keep in touch with his friends — without it as president.”
