Trump shrugs off cyber attack from foreign adversary: 'It is what it is'

President Donald Trump shrugged off a Chinese cyber intrusion described by the FBI as a “major incident,” saying the U.S. did the same to the other country's government computer networks, but he erupted when pressed to explain how he would respond to the attack.

The 79-year-old president sat down for an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, who asked about China's reported weapons transfers to Iran to use against U.S. troops, and Trump said Chinese leader Xi Jinping assured him that wasn't taking place.

"I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that," Trump said, "and he said essentially he is not doing that."

Bartiromo then asked about the alleged cyber attack.
