Article snippet: Fresh off a weekend meeting with world leaders, President Trump tweeted Sunday evening that he has low hopes for his proposed U.S.-Russia cyber security unit. “The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't-but a ceasefire can,& did!” Trump tweeted on Sunday about three hours after tweeting about a ceasefire in Syria. In a surprise move coming out of the Group of 20 meetings in Germany, Trump shifted conversation to his proposed "Cyber Security unit," a joint operation with Russia focusing on cyber attacks. U.S. and Russian officials indicated on Friday — after a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin — that the two countries would work together in a number of areas, including cybersecurity. That was met with mixed reaction, given the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia attempted to interfere with the 2016 presidential election to favor Trump – a conclusion the president has not said he 100 percent agrees with. Social media users reacted quickly to Trump’s tweet knocking his own proposal.
