NSA director: "Now is probably not the best time" for U.S.-Russia cyber unit

Adm. Mike Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, said Saturday that “now is probably not the best time” to pursue a joint cybersecurity initiative with Russia — an idea that President Donald Trump floated following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month.

“I would argue now is probably not the best time to be doing this,” Rogers told an audience at the Aspen Security Forum, a gathering of US national security leaders in Colorado.
