Obama Waits To See If Xi's Pledge Of Cybersecurity Match Words From White House Meeting

President Barack Obama on Friday said he was pleased by the promises and pledges of law enforcement cooperation on cybersecurity made by China's President Xi Jinping during their White House meeting, but said he would be watching now to see "are words followed by actions." Speaking to reporters at a joint press conference, Obama said he did not discuss allegations of any specific hacking incident with Xi. Obama said the U.S. would use every tool in its toolkit, including imposing sanctions, if it has proof against hackers in any country. The U.S. president also said he wanted to work on new international accords on cybersecurity. Xi said the U.S. and China should cooperate on cybersecurity. "Confrontation and friction are not the right choice for both sides," he said.
