Donald Trump has rescinded his July 16 remarks about U.S. intelligence service in remarks at the White House on July 17, according to Reuters. Trump had said at a press conference with Russian president Vladimir Putin that he doesn't "see any reason why” he should believe intelligence officials' assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, adding, "President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.”
“The full faith and support for America’s intelligence agencies — I have a full faith in our intelligence agencies,” Trump said a day later, according to Reuters. The remarks came after Trump faced a day of harsh criticism for his earlier statement. Reuters reported that Trump was scheduled to meet with House Republicans about further tax cuts after he professed his faith in U.S. intelligence.

As the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election continues, President Donald Trump met with Russian president Vladimir Putin on July 16 in Helsinki. Their closed-door meeting occurred just three days after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for their role in the election interference. “I think we have great opportunities together as two countries that, frankly, we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years,” Politico reported Trump saying during his opening remarks on July 16, prior to a two-hour, one-on-one meeting between the two world leaders. “But I think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship. I hope so.”
“Getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing,” he said. At the joint press conference that followed their meeting, Trump struck a similar tone.
"We both have made some mistakes," Trump said, according to CBS News.
"I hold both countries responsible,” Trump also said. “I think that the United States has been foolish. I think that we've all been foolish. We should have had this dialogue a long time ago, a long time, frankly, before I got to office.”
During the press conference, Putin offered special counsel Robert Mueller a chance to ask the Russian government to question the indicted Russians, according to CBS. Trump described this as an “incredible offer,” despite Putin’s caveat that the U.S. should afford Russia the same opportunity in the future.
Putin said he was glad Trump won the election "because he talked about bringing U.S.–Russia relations back to normal,” according to CBS News, while Trump said Putin’s denial of any wrongdoing during the election was "extremely strong and powerful.”
That’s prompted calls of treason on Twitter. That might be because it contradicts what intelligence agencies have claimed since 2016, according to the BBC. Dictionary.com was seemingly among the first to take a shot, as it included the definitions of “patriot” and “traitor” in the same tweet, and former CIA director John Brennan called the remarks “nothing short of treasonous.”
Just hours before Trump and Putin’s meeting, Trump tweeted that poor relations between the two countries are the fault of “many years of U.S. stupidity and foolishness and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt,” a phrase which Trump has been using to refer to Mueller’s investigation, according to The Guardian.
There is no precedent for Trump leveling any sort of public criticism at Putin, but on July 15, Axios reported on a time when Trump had reportedly expressed anger with Putin, albeit privately. According to an anonymous source quoted by the site, during a call between the two world leaders on March 20, Trump congratulated Putin on his reelection (a sentiment Trump’s aides reportedly explicitly warned him not to share), while also criticizing one of the propaganda videos the Russian president released during his campaign: a simulation of Russian missiles appearing to target Florida, which happens to be where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort is located.
An anonymous source with knowledge of the phone exchange told Axios they recalled Trump telling Putin the video was “outrageous,” a stark departure from what is “usually a...bit of a love fest.”
The Guardian reported that Trump appeared to wink at Putin prior to the closed-door portion of the summit’s events. No such friendliness was on display after Trump met recently with some of the United States' closest allies. Speaking about the European Union after his visit to Europe earlier this week, Trump referred to the EU as “a foe” of the U.S. in an interview with CBS News that aired on July 15.
During the interview on Face the Nation, Jeff Glor asked Trump if he would consider asking Putin during their meeting to extradite the 12 indicted Russians to the U.S.
"Well, I might," Trump replied. "I hadn't thought of that. But I certainly, I'll be asking about it."
