Clinton warns America must sharpen its counterterrorism focus 25 years after 9/11

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told NBC News that the Trump era has hampered U.S. counterterrorism by shrinking intelligence capacities and pulling resources from key agencies, leaving the United States with fewer eyes and ears in critical regions and risking renewed terrorist threats 25 years after 9/11. She warned that threats persist from both state and nonstate actors, urged bipartisan unity to address those threats, criticized the administration’s focus on a White House ballroom, and emphasized the need for sustained funding and attention to 9/11 health issues and air-quality concerns at Ground Zero.
