WASHINGTON (Reuters) – China and Russia pose the biggest risks to the United States and are more aligned than they have been in decades, U.S. intelligence leaders told senators on Tuesday, in testimony that repeatedly contradicted President Donald Trump’s statements on global threats.

While Beijing and Moscow seek to expand their global reach, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said, some American allies are pulling away from Washington in reaction to changing U.S. policies on security and trade.

“China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea increasingly use cyber operations to threaten both minds and machines in an expanding number of ways – to steal information, to influence our citizens, or to disrupt critical infrastructure,” Coats said. He testified with the directors of the CIA, FBI and other top intelligence officials at the Senate Intelligence Committee’s annual hearing on worldwide threats.

“Moscow’s relationship with Beijing is closer than it’s been in many decades,” Coats told the panel.
