•    According to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, “What we want to make sure is that we coordinate with Russia, that we're focused on cybersecurity together, that we make sure that they never interfere in any Democratic elections or conduct any cybersecurity. And [a joint cybersecurity unit] is like any other strategic alliance, whether we're doing military exercises with our allies or anything else. This is about having capabilities to make sure that we both fight cyber together.”  
•     Nikki Haley, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, notes, “From a cyber standpoint, we need to get together with Russia, we need to tell them, you know, what we think should happen, shouldn't happen, and if we talk to them about it, hopefully we can cut this out and get them to stop.”
