On Friday, Donald Trump delivered a 25-minute speech asserting that the election system is susceptible to manipulation or influence from foreign nations, specifically naming China, Iran, and Russia. During his address, the U.S. president also announced plans to declassify intelligence documents detailing these foreign countries’ alleged capacity to “compromise the US election infrastructure.”
In response, Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, addressed reporters, stating that “Russia has never interfered in the internal affairs of other countries.” Speaking during a daily press briefing on Friday, Peskov added, “And we hope that no one will try to interfere in our internal affairs.”
Meanwhile, the United States is reportedly tightening regulations concerning foreign students and journalists, limiting their visas to specified durations.
The discussion surrounding election security and foreign interference continues amid these policy shifts. The focus remains on the vulnerabilities of democratic processes to external influence, with both political figures and government spokespersons making statements regarding international involvement.
