The Trump administration dismissed a deal from a top Russian diplomat earlier this year regarding a mutual ban between Washington and Moscow on foreign political interference, BuzzFeed News reported Friday.

U.S. administration officials told the publication that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was in a July meeting with State Department Under Secretary Tom Shannon when he presented U.S. officials with a deal that would prohibit both governments from meddling in each other's elections.

“We said ‘thank you very much but now is not the time for this,’” a senior State Department official told the publication.

The reported rejection came months after the U.S. intelligence community released their assessment that the Kremlin would continue to attempt to breach and meddle in future U.S. elections.
