特朗普政府指责加拿大干预选举，与此同时，关于中期选举前可能出现的干预行为，政治色彩浓厚的担忧四起。渥太华否认了这些指控，并禁止其外交官与美国候选人公开露面。
The Trump administration accused Canada of election interference, as politically-charged fears swirled over potential meddling ahead of the US midterms. Ottawa denied the charges and banned its diplomats from being seen with US candidates.
情报委员会的民主党人告诉美国国家公共电台（NPR），他们正在为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普指控外国干预做准备：“我们假设总统不会接受看起来对他非常不利的选举结果。”
Democrats on intelligence committees told NPR they are bracing for US President Donald Trump to allege foreign meddling: “We’re making the assumption that the president is not going to accept the results of what looks to be a very challenging election for him.”
一些美国官员正就特朗普可能进行的干预向各州提供建议，联邦政府也在准备与选举相关的诉讼。与此同时，数百名律师自愿监测干预行为，一位倡导者表示：“如果特朗普搞花招，我们将非常积极地进行诉讼。”
Some US officials are advising states on the potential for Trump’s interference, as the federal government prepares election-related lawsuits. Meanwhile, hundreds of lawyers have volunteered to monitor for meddling, with one advocate saying, “If Trump gets up to shenanigans we’ll be litigating very vigorously.”
