White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday tweeting those discussions are already underway.

白宫新闻秘书萨拉 桑德斯(Sarah Huckabee Sanders)周四发表推文称，双方的讨论已经在进行了。这次会晤正值特朗普遭受猛烈抨击之际，因为特朗普曾在赫尔辛基会后发表言论，说自己不认同本国情报部门的说法，而且似乎很认可普京的说法，即俄罗斯并未干预2016年总统大选，虽然后来特朗普改口了。

We should all be prepared given that capability⁷ and will that they’ll do it again.

共和党议员杰夫 弗莱克(Jeff Flake)表示，如果俄罗斯总统明明说了滔天的谎话，但你并没有戳穿，那一定是因为你支持他。此外，国会的民主党提出了一项指责俄罗斯的议案。如果我们不采取行动，那么美国人民就不会相信下一次选举的结果。为了强调这一点，美国国土安全部行政秘书警示称，俄罗斯对11月的中期选举有威胁。我们应该做好准备，毕竟俄罗斯有这个实力，而且他们可能故伎重演。
