US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a decree imposing sanctions on any foreign companies or individuals for interfering in US elections, two informed sources told Reuters.

In this case, such a decision will be made on the basis of intelligence findings.

Trump's decree came amid training for intelligence agencies, military and law enforcement agencies to defend the mid-term congressional elections 6 in November from predicted attacks from abroad, despite the fact that Trump criticized the investigation of Russian interference in the election of 2016 of the year, led by Special Prosecutor Muller.

Individuals or entire companies accused of interfering in US elections through cyber attacks or other tools may be subject to sanctions, a US official told Reuters.

“The administration wants to establish a new standard in cyberspace,” the official said. “This is the first step in setting boundaries and publicly announcing our reaction to bad behavior.”

The decree was another attempt by the Trump administration to portray a harsh approach to ensuring the security of elections on the eve of voting in November, during which it will be decided whether the party members of the president, Republicans will be able to maintain a majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

According to Reuters sources, the decree places the responsibility for determining the fact of interference on a number of departments headed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. These agencies include the CIA, the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security.

Any federal agency that becomes aware of the interference of foreigners in the course of elections should report this to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, follows from a recent draft decree studied by the said official.

The decree will define election interference as attempts at hacker attacks against the “election support infrastructure” and attempts to sway public opinion through coordinated digital propaganda or the systematic diversion of sensitive political information.

American intelligence officials concluded that during the presidential campaign in 2016, Russian hackers broke into the computer systems of the National Democratic Party Committee and organized confidential information leaks.

Congress was deliberately excluded from the process of preparing a decree, the official said, because the administration wants to anticipate a bill dedicated to the same problem that is being considered in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

US lawmakers introduced various legislative acts, including a “law of deterrence” to impose penalties for election interference, as well as a bill “from hell,” as one lawmaker called it, which aims to punish Moscow for cybercrime and its actions in Syria, Ukraine and other places.
