WASHINGTON — President Obama is more worried about a nuclear terror attack targeting New York City than he is about Russia's territorial ambitions, he said Tuesday.

"Russia's actions are a problem," Obama said Tuesday in The Hague, Netherlands, after the third meeting of the international Nuclear Security Summit.

But the Russians "don't pose the No. 1 national security threat to the United States," the President said.

"I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan."
