(Reuters) - Russia confirmed on Monday that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had discussed forming a joint Russian-U.S. group on cyber security, an idea that has provoked uproar in Washington, but said it was only a tentative proposal.

Trump said on Twitter early on Sunday the two leaders discussed forming "an impenetrable Cyber Security unit" when they met at the Hamburg G20 summit.

The idea was greeted with incredulity by some senior Republicans who said Moscow could not be trusted - and the U.S. president later in the day tweeted that he did not think it could happen.

"The heads of state did talk about such a possibility," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters on Monday.

Just like 45's collusion with Russia, that really was
and still is a thing?

5. Why so long? They already got our data.

They already have intimate knowledge of our systems. I bet they even have people over here doing stuff for this effort.

Or maybe they don't want Americans to know about the Russian data and systems.

6. You are a few hours late Putin. Trump already tweeted earlier--you know his official

foreign policy is via tweet---that not likely to happen. Go back under your bridge.
