In 2018-19，the global counter-terrorism situation continued to ease，but large-scale terrorist attacks still occurred from time to time. Threats from the Islamic State continued to exist，but they showed signs of fragmentation. Several new trends appeared in the development of global terrorism，including the significant increase in cases of terrorist attacks with religious or ethnic characteristics，individual terrorism and lone-wolf terrorist attacks，rapidly expanding threats from drones，and attacks on civilian facilities. Facing this new situation，some countries introduced new anti-terrorism measures. The United States released a new version of its National Strategy for Counterterrorism，expanding “America First” to counter-terrorism，and some Western countries took actions to support gun control. In general，the international community strengthened cooperation in counter-terrorism，especially in the battle against cyber-extremism.
