There was an interesting short but strange “event” when the lights went out at the White House for a moment, as #US President Donald J. #Trump reaffirmed his "full faith and support for America's intelligence agencies,"
Trump said that he does accept US #intelligenceagencies' conclusion that #Russia meddled in the #2016presidentialelection but also stated that two Presidents had a very, very good meeting”.
US President Trump said that misunderstanding came about because he misspoke during Monday's joint press conference with Russian President #VladimirPutin. Reading from a script, he stressed, "I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't.' And the sentence should have been - and I thought it would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video - the sentence should have been: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia. Sort of a double negative.
Trump also spoke about his meeting with Russian President #Putin at Helsinki stating: “I think we have a very good chance of having some very positive things. I thought that the meeting that I had with President Putin was really strong. I think that they were willing to do things that, frankly, I wasn't sure whether or not they would be willing to do. And we'll be having future meetings and we'll see whether or not that comes to fruition. But we had a very, very good meeting."
