The effects of the coronavirus pandemic are expected to contribute over the next year to “humanitarian and economic crises, political unrest, and geopolitical competition,” according to a new intelligence report that also warns about the threats from foreign adversaries and from violent extremists inside the United States. “The American people should know as much as possible about the threats facing our nation and what their intelligence agencies are doing to protect them,” Haines said.
