President Trump press conference with Vladimir Putin did not garner much fanfare. Most people were disappointed with the way the president carried himself on the world stage. On Tuesday President Trump spoke to reporters to clarify his remarks.
“In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t.’ The sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia,'” President Trump says https://t.co/ZU0DDFnp0P pic.twitter.com/8FfCRAsCXQ

According to The Daily Wire:
President Donald Trump addressed reporters on Tuesday in the White House where he appeared to walk back some of the comments he made during the Helsinki summit, saying that he misspoke.
“I have full faith and support for America’s great intelligence agencies,” Trump said. “Let me be totally clear in saying…I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place. Could be other people, also.”
Trump then clarified a comment he made during the press conference, saying, “In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t.’ The sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia.'”
Trump went on to say that his administration is “doing everything in our power to prevent Russian interference in 2018.”
Trump went on to differentiate himself from the Obama administration. Obama famously knew about Russian interference and let it happen. Trump vowed to use the power of the United States to stop this from happening again.
