Description of the scenario goes as "Growing political polarization in the United States, particularly around the 2024 presidential election, leads to acts of domestic terrorism and political violence," according to the survey.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- The possibility of domestic terrorism and acts of political violence in the United States, particularly around the 2024 presidential election, was ranked as the leading concern in terms of impact on U.S. interests and likelihood of occurring or escalating in 2024, according to a newly-released yearly survey.
Description of the scenario goes as "Growing political polarization in the United States, particularly around the 2024 presidential election, leads to acts of domestic terrorism and political violence," according to the survey, which was conducted by the Center for Preventive Action under New York-based think tank the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
For the first time in its 16-year history, the Preventive Priorities Survey found that the leading concern for foreign policy experts is not a foreign threat to U.S. interests, said a release by the CFR on Thursday.
The survey was conducted in November 2023 and was based on responses from around 550 U.S. government officials, foreign policy experts, and academics, each of whom was asked to estimate the impact of 30 ongoing or potential violent conflicts on U.S. interests and likelihood of occurring or escalating in 2024, respectively.
Three scenarios were judged to be both high-likelihood and high-impact, which is unprecedented since the survey began in 2008. Besides the election-related violence in the United States, experts are concerned about an escalation of the Israel-Hamas war into a wider regional conflict, and a surge of migration to the southwest U.S. border.
The survey was primarily created in 2008 to alert U.S. policymakers to potentially threatening sources of instability and conflict overseas so they could take timely preventive action and reduce the risk of additional military interventions, according to the CFR.
In prior years, only overseas or foreign-sourced risks to U.S. interests were evaluated in the survey. However, during the public solicitation of contingencies for the 2024 survey, the level of concern expressed about the risk of politically motivated violence in the United States, especially surrounding the upcoming presidential election, was too great to disregard, said the CFR.
