DNI Coats: Russia and China are Top "State Intelligence Threats" to America

The major targets for foreign intelligence services remain more or less unchanged. Russian and Chinese foreign intelligence services continue to be the leading threats to the United States. “We assess that the leading state intelligence threats to US interests will continue to be Russia and China, based on their services’ capabilities, intent, and broad operational scope,” director of national intelligence Dan Coats said in his written testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 6.
