    President missed an opportunity to do something about Russia: Brown statement on President Trump’s meeting with President Putin

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today released the following statement on President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During that meeting, President Trump refused to publically condemn Moscow’s interference in the 2016 elections – despite the U.S. intelligence community’s resounding agreement that Russia continues to attack America’s critical infrastructure.

    “The intelligence experts we trust to keep America safe have said that Russia continues to threaten our democracy and our critical infrastructure, and the President missed an opportunity to do something about it,” Brown said. “The Ukrainian community in Ohio knows all too well the dangers of unchecked Russian aggression. We must demand Russia turn over the spies who hacked our election and show Putin we will not put up with threats to our infrastructure that undercut our democratic institutions.”

    Brown joined a group of top Democratic Senators last week urging President Trump to cancel his meeting with Putin if he was not prepared to press the Russian President on his election meddling and push him to hand over the 12 recently indicted Kremlin intelligence officials.

    Portman troubled by President Trump’s remarks at Helsinki Summit

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) issued the following statement regarding the joint news conference today by President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Helsinki Summit:

    The president’s comments in today’s press conference were troubling. He failed to stand up to Vladimir Putin on some of the most critical security issues facing our country and our allies. There is a consensus in the intelligence community that Russia meddled in our elections and continues to try to destabilize democracies around the world. Both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. When given the opportunity, President Trump did not hold President Putin to task for election meddling, for the illegal annexation of Crimea, or for the continued aggression in Eastern Ukraine. 

    “I believe the United States must be matter of fact and transparent. We all want to see a better relationship between our two countries, but we must make clear directly to President Putin and to the world that Russia’s actions on the world stage are unacceptable and a change in their behavior is necessary in order to improve relations. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and with this administration to do so.”
