WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lieutenant General Paul Nakasone, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the U.S. cyber command, said on Thursday he did not think Russia, China and other countries expected much of a response from the United States to cyber attacks.

"They don't think much will happen," he said, when questioned by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan at his confirmation hearing to be general and director of the National Security Agency and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command.
