In order to answer this, we need to differentiate between "threaten" and "endanger".

Unsurprisingly, there are many countries angry with us that present threats of some magnitude (albeit sometimes of a nearly insignificant magnitude). There are other countries that definitely have the resources to seriously endanger US National Security, but aren't, due to alliances, other threats that take up their time, etc.

Countries that harbor and train so-called terrorist groups are potentially threats, but the threat comes from the group itself; not the sovereign nation (usually). Some of these countries include Lebanon, Palestine, Syria. Libya, Morocco, Somalia, Angola (maybe), Venezuela, and quite a few others. This does NOT mean they represent a serious threat, however.

Of those countries that have the military and/or economic resources to endanger National Security, I would add Russia (we're on good terms now, so it's not likely, but Russia does have the arsenal), the Ukraine (ditto Russian), China (on good terms but capable of causing economic chaos if they wanted to), North and South Korea.

And many others. Countries that can cause difficult problems and regional threats might include North Korea and Iran at the head of the list.
