Russia Expels 60 U.S. Diplomats in Tit-for-Tat Retaliation

Russia said it’s expelling 60 U.S. diplomats and closing the American consulate in St. Petersburg, and will retaliate in kind to other countries that ousted its envoys after the poisoning of a former Russian double agent in England.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the measures against the U.S. “include the expulsion of the same number of diplomats” as the Russian envoys ordered out by President Donald Trump.
