Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the stocks that Donald Trump owns. On June 4, 2025, Microsoft announced a new European Security Program (ESP) aimed at strengthening cyber defenses across the continent. The initiative, offered free of charge, is open to all EU and EFTA member states, the UK, and several smaller European nations. It delivers three main capabilities.
First, governments will receive real-time access to AI-powered threat intelligence, focused especially on detecting nation-state actors and ransomware campaigns enhanced by AI. This includes detailed telemetry from Microsoft’s global signals and early-warning alerts.

Second, the program expands Microsoft’s Statutory Automated Disruption (SAD) system, which began operating in April 2025. SAD accelerates the legal and technical processes for taking down malicious infrastructure, such as domains and IP addresses, by coordinating directly with European legal authorities.
Third, ESP deepens Microsoft’s collaboration with law enforcement. Its Digital Crimes Unit is now working more closely with agencies like Europol’s EC3, which recently led a successful takedown of the Lumma Stealer malware network. That operation alone disrupted over 2,300 domains and impacted nearly 400,000 compromised devices in just two months.
While we acknowledge the potential of MSFT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
