On March 18, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released the 2026 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). This report reflects the insights of the entire IC, which is committed to providing timely, actionable intelligence to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered opening remarks before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence:
“As President Trump’s National Security Strategy highlights, America is blessed with an enviable geostrategic position, unparalleled assets, resources and a military second to none. Intelligence remains among our sharpest tools in protecting our interests and informing our policymakers and decisionmakers on key national security concerns. In this assessment, we are following the structure of priorities laid out in the National Security Strategy, starting with threats to our Homeland, then shifting to global risks. The defense of our Homeland is of utmost importance to the American people. Putting America first means committing to an unrelenting vigilance in service of our own citizens, borders, and communities. Recent efforts to bolster Homeland defense have yielded significantly positive results, but challenges persist,” DNI Gabbard said.
