Trump's administration is characterized by distractions that detract from critical national security threats, particularly catastrophic climate change and global pandemics, both of which were omitted from recent threat assessments. The impact of climate change is reflected in billions of dollars in damage and significant loss of life over the past decade. Questions raised by lawmakers on the omission reveal a concerning trend of prioritizing immediate threats while neglecting long-term existential risks. In doing so, Trump's policies may worsen vulnerability and destabilize national safety measures, marking a dereliction of duty.
At a time when the country faces ever more threatening interlocking crises, Trump is perversely exacerbating the most dangerous threats to our nation's security.
The congressional presentation of the Annual Intelligence Community's Threat Assessment omitted catastrophic climate change and global pandemics, the two most deadly security threats to Americans.
