Don Beyer
A member of the house of representatives, Congressman-Democrat US don Beyer made Monday, July 10, an amendment to the draft Law on appropriations for national defense to prohibit the allocation of funds for the creation of joint projects with Russia on cyber security. This is stated in the press release posted on the website of the policy.
“The proposal by Donald trump to form a “group on cyber security” Putin is a terrible idea, which immediately would have put at risk us cyber security” — said the Congressman. The amendment will be considered by the Committee on Tuesday evening.
On the eve of the source in the Russian foreign Ministry told reporters that trump at a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the summit of “Big twenty” in Hamburg, Germany “fully agreed” to create such a group. Earlier it was reported that the American leader questioned the possibility of establishing a working group on cybersecurity issues between Moscow and Washington. “The fact that President Putin and I discussed a group on cyber security, does not mean that I think that this could happen,” he wrote.
The establishment of a working group on cybersecurity between the U.S. and Russia on 7 July announced the Russian foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He pointed out that an agreement was reached on the establishment of a bilateral working group which will deal with a whole range of issues “including the fight against terrorism, organized crime, hacking in all its manifestations,” said the Minister. On cybersecurity leaders focused “due to the fact that this area is becoming increasingly risky.”
