World News | Biden Calls Russia 'biggest Threat' to America

Washington [US], October 26 (ANI/Sputnik): US President Donald Trump's Democratic challenger Joe Biden says he thinks the biggest security threat to America is Russia.

"I think the biggest threat to America right now in terms of breaking up our-- our security and our alliances is Russia. Secondly, I think that the biggest competitor is China.
