Sec. of State Mike Pompeo says he warned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about any further Russian interference in U.S. politics, even as Lavrov again claimed Russia did not interfere.
Pompeo added,"Should Russia or any foreign actor take steps to undermine our democratic processes, we will take action in response," though he wasn’t specific about the potential ramifications.
When asked specifically if he was disputing the White House readout, he said he hadn't read it, but added that he raised the issue of election interference with Trump after Pompeo raised it during their press conference and again denied Russia's role. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shake hands at the conclusion of a joint news conference in the Franklin Room at the State Department Dec. 10, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
Ukraine was a"major part" of their conversations, according to Pompeo, who said he was"proud" of the Trump administration's work to support the country's sovereignty and security. But notably, one day after Putin had talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, along with France and Germany, it was Russia's foreign minister arriving in Washington to brief the U.S. on those meetings, not Ukraine's.
