When US President Trump held a joint press conference with Russian President Putin on the 16th, he said there was no reason to believe that Russia had intervened in the 2016 US presidential election, which was like singing with Putin and cracking down on US intelligence agencies, arousing public anger and arousing criticism from both parties and the media. On the 17th, Trump admitted that he said the wrong thing, saying that he wanted to say "there is no reason not Russia" and changed his words to admit that Russia interfered in the US presidential election.
Trump said he is confident in the US intelligence agencies and that although Russia's actions did not affect the results of the US presidential election, he wants to make it clear: "I 'accept' the conclusion of the US intelligence community that Russia interferes in the 2016 election." Trump then added, "It may be someone else."
Trump did not condemn Russia's interference in the US election at the "Double PPPCC", but also spoke for Putin. He was criticized by members of Congress and the media for embarrassment, shame and treason. Before the White House meeting with members of Congress on the 17th, Trump attempted to make up for the failure and made a speech to the media, and rarely admitted his mistakes and corrected his statement the day before.
Trump was asked at the joint press conference of the "Double PLA" whether he believed what the US intelligence agency said Russia interfered in the US election. At that time, Trump said: "I can't see any reason it would be Russia."
Trump changed his words on the 17th and said that he was wrong at the time, which should be "I can't see any reason it is not Russia." Trump repeated this sentence several times and said he had mentioned investigations from US intelligence agencies many times, showing that Russia attempted to interfere in the US election.
A small episode occurred during Trump's speech. Just as he said, "I am full of confidence in our intelligence agency", the lights in the conference room suddenly turned off. Trump smiled and said, "This must have been done by the intelligence personnel."
CNN reported that White House officials revealed that Trump originally wanted to clarify his speech through Twitter, but later he received more and more calls and messages to persuade him to come forward and explain that he decided to put out the fire on the grounds of "saying the wrong thing." One of the reasons Trump admits his mistake is fear of rebound in the governance of the world, especially the possibility of resigning from the National Intelligence Director Coates to protest.
reported that all White House senior officials mobilized on the 17th, and Vice President Pans was responsible for appeasement of the outside world, including requiring party members of Congress to take a sensation when responding to this matter. Pans, Secretary of State Pompeo, National Security Advisor Burton, and White House Chief of Staff Kelly held several crisis handling meetings at the White House on the 17th, and finally Pans and Pompeo persuaded Trump to change his words and clarify.
However, Trump tweeted again on the 18th that many senior political leaders actually admired his press conference in Helsinki. He got along well with Putin, which made many people who hoped they would be very upset with the fight. "Some people hate Putin and I, and they would rather go to war than see this."
