According to Fox News, the document said that the US is facing an "urgent and unacceptable danger" from "malicious cyber activities". The document also stated that the US is in a long-term strategic competition with China and Russia.
The report also said that Russia is believed to have used cyber-information campaigns to influence people and challenge democratic processes in the United States. As for China, the report accused Beijing of stealing sensitive information from U.S. government and private sector computers.
In addition, the report also considers North Korea and Iran among countries seeking to harm US citizens and threaten US interests.
Since the US presidential election in which Donald Trump was elected, the US has continuously accused and opened investigations into allegations of Russian interference in this election.
However, Russia has repeatedly denied this accusation and said that this accusation is baseless and this is just an internal struggle within the United States./.
