In 2016, Jeh Johnson the United States Secretary of Homeland Security and James Clapper the U.S. Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement accusing Russia of interfering with the 2016 United States presidential election.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on the American news interview program Meet The Press that the United States will respond.

President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti: "The fact is, US unpredictability and aggression keep growing, and such threats against Moscow and our country’s leadership are unprecedented, because the threat is being announced at the level of the US Vice President. Of course, given such an aggressive, unpredictable line, we have to take measures to protect our interests, somehow hedge the risks...such unpredictability is dangerous for the whole world."
