WASHINGTON — Russia’s efforts to expand its influence and China’s modernizing military are among the “ever more diverse” threats facing the U.S., according to a major intelligence report released Tuesday.

Director of National Intelligence Daniel R. Coats unveiled the 2019 National Intelligence Strategy (NIS) today. The NIS is the guiding strategy for the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and will drive the strategic direction for the Nation’s 17 IC elements for the next four years.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the men and women of the Intelligence Community work in every part of the world, dedicated to one mission – to keep America and her interests safe. Their mission is guided by faith in the IC’s core principles: To seek the truth. And when we find that truth, to speak the truth.
