As we move through a pivotal year in U.S. politics, organizations must stay ahead of emerging risks. Our Global Risk Services team has released a new report that provides a comprehensive assessment of the evolving political threat landscape across the United States. The United States Political Risk Landscape Report 2025, prepared by Senior Intelligence Analyst Abigail Powers-Lowery, delivers essential insights for decision-makers navigating the challenges of a polarized political climate.

 

The report explores a range of pressing domestic and international security risks, including:

1.) Domestic Extremism and Civil Unrest

From lone actor threats to large-scale demonstrations, the post-electoral climate in the U.S. presents a moderate but fluid threat environment. Key drivers include radicalized individuals, controversial policy changes, and political rhetoric fueling far-left and far-right tensions​.

2.) Foreign Threat Influence

Adversarial state actors and foreign terrorist organizations are capitalizing on U.S. political division to stoke unrest through disinformation campaigns. Though direct attacks remain unlikely, indirect influence remains high​.

3.) International Repercussions

The report outlines how U.S. domestic policy is influencing global protest movements, trade instability, and diplomatic tensions. Of particular concern are escalations with drug cartels in Mexico, terror threats in the Sahel region, and anti-American sentiment abroad​.

4.) Recommendations for Risk Mitigation

The report concludes with a strategic set of actionable recommendations for companies, including:

• Enhancing digital hygiene and privacy protocols
• Reassessing travel risk frameworks
• Strengthening personnel awareness and response training
• Evaluating exposure to politically motivated violence​

 

As organizations continue to adapt to an unpredictable global environment, understanding the nuanced risks within the U.S. is no longer optional—it’s essential. Whether you're managing corporate security, public affairs, or operational strategy, this report offers critical intelligence to inform your planning for 2025 and beyond.
