American Bridge President Jessica Mackler released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin:
“Donald Trump is putting the fox in charge of the hen house by agreeing to a cyber-security working group with Moscow, and putting us all at risk for near-certain future attacks. Russian state-supported hackers are already the leading suspects in a cyber attack aimed at a dozen U.S. power plants. But no one should be surprised Donald Trump is willing to accept Vladimir Puntin’s baseless denials — ignoring the conclusions of United States military intelligence agency personnel who risk their lives to keep us safe — and move on as if Russia attacking our country never happened; the attacks were for Trump’s own benefit!”
