Newsweek:
A new government report has shed light on the future weapons that pose the greatest threat to the U.S., and on which adversaries are most likely to one day target Americans.
In a report detailing the most pressing long-term threats to the U.S., the Government Accountability Office (GAO) warned that America’s rivals are working hard to develop the latest weapons capable of defeating the U.S. on the battlefield and beyond.
The GAO surveyed 45 government departments to analyze the most pressing national safety concerns. This included organizations across the Department of Defense (DOD), State Department, Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The report notes the greatest threat is posed by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, all of whom will continue to try and undermine U.S. global influence and prepare for a possible military confrontation with American forces.
