                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Senate that President Donald Trump should 
   hold the Government of the Russian Federation accountable for its 
  interference in the 2016 United States election and ensure that the 
   United States is prepared to counter future attempts at election 
                             interference.

Whereas it is the unanimous opinion of the United States intelligence community 
        under both the Administration of President Barack Obama and the 
        Administration of President Donald Trump that the Government of the 
        Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 United States election; and
Whereas it is the unanimous opinion of the intelligence community that the 
        Government of the Russian Federation will interfere in the 2018 United 
        States election and in future elections of the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that President Donald 
Trump--
            (1) should use every opportunity and every tool at his 
        disposal, including the upcoming summit with the President of 
        the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, to hold the Government 
        of the Russian Federation accountable for its attempts to 
        undermine democracy in the United States and abroad;
            (2) should ensure that the United States Government is 
        prepared to counter future attempts to interfere in United 
        States elections; and
            (3) must clarify to President Putin that if the Government 
        of the Russian Federation continues to interfere with democracy 
        in the United States, it does so at its own peril.
