Helsinki: Trump Sides with Putin Over US Intel on Election

| NATO-US Tensions

At his bilateral summit with Putin in Helsinki, Trump sides with Russia's denial over US intelligence community assessments of election interference: 'I have President Putin; he just said it's not Russia. I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be.' NATO Sec-Gen Stoltenberg calls the remarks 'unprecedented.' European allies are deeply alarmed about US reliability as an intelligence partner.
